The PKG package supports various MDM (Mobile Device Management) solutions, making it ideal for bulk installations and eliminating the need for manual setups by individual users. With this package, IT administrators can ensure standardized, policy-driven installations of Docker Desktop, enhancing efficiency and software management across their organizations.

  5. Follow the instructions on the installation wizard to authorize the installer and proceed with the installation.
    • Introduction: Select Continue.
    • License: Review the license agreement and select Agree.
    • Destination Select: This step is optional. It is recommended that you keep the default installation destination (usually Macintosh HD). Select Continue.

[!NOTE]

When installing Docker Desktop with the PKG, in-app updates are automatically disabled. This ensures organizations can maintain version consistency and prevent unapproved updates. For Docker Desktop installed with the .dmg installer, in-app updates remain supported.

Docker Desktop notifies you when an update is available. To update Docker Desktop, download the latest installer from the Docker Admin Console. Navigate to the Enterprise deployment page.

To keep up to date with new releases, check the release notes page.

Install from the command line

  1. In Docker Home, choose your organization.

  2. Select Admin Console, then Enterprise deployment.

  3. From the macOS tab, select the Download PKG installer button.

  4. From your terminal, run the following command:

    console
    $ sudo installer -pkg "/path/to/Docker.pkg" -target /Applications
