## Installing ContainerLab

ContainerLab can be installed using the installation script that detects the operating system type and installs the appropriate package:

```bash
# download and install the latest version (may require sudo)
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://get.containerlab.dev)"

# with wget
bash -c "$(wget -qO - https://get.containerlab.dev)"
```

## Installing Docker

This is the containerization engine used by ContainerLab.

```bash
# Update and install dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg

# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
  "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
  "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

# To be able to execute docker with the current user
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
```
