Installing Docker

Docker will let us create a virtual environment to use when developing for ROS2. This is because ROS2 requires base Ubuntu to run. If you are on base Ubuntu, Docker is not needed, but would still work.

You will use the installation guide provided by Docker depending on your operating system:

• Linux
• Windows
• macOS

If on Windows or macOS, open Docker. If you get a prompt saying: "Your WSL version needs updating", then:

1. Open the terminal
2. Type in wsl --update, which should be the same commmand that Docker gives you
3. Restart Docker

Once Docker is properly installed and open, continue to Setting up the DevContainer
