     4  # Experimental Features in this Release 
     5  
     6  This page contains a list of features in the Docker engine which are
     7  experimental as of the current release. Experimental features are **not** ready
     8  for production. They are provided for test and evaluation in your sandbox
     9  environments.  
    10  
    11  The information below describes each feature and the Github pull requests and
    12  issues associated with it. If necessary, links are provided to additional
    13  documentation on an issue.  As an active Docker user and community member,
    14  please feel free to provide any feedback on these features you wish.
    15  
    16  ## Install Docker experimental 
    17  
    18  1. Verify that you have `wget` installed.
    19  
    20          $ which wget
    21  
    22      If `wget` isn't installed, install it after updating your manager:
    23  
    24          $ sudo apt-get update
    25          $ sudo apt-get install wget
    26  
    27  2. Get the latest Docker package.
    28  
    29          $ wget -qO- https://experimental.docker.com/ | sh
    30  
    31      The system prompts you for your `sudo` password. Then, it downloads and
    32      installs Docker and its dependencies.
    33  
    34  	>**Note**: If your company is behind a filtering proxy, you may find that the
    35  	>`apt-key`
    36  	>command fails for the Docker repo during installation. To work around this,
    37  	>add the key directly using the following:
    38  	>
    39  	>       $ wget -qO- https://experimental.docker.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
    40  
    41  3. Verify `docker` is installed correctly.
    42  
    43          $ sudo docker run hello-world
    44  
    45      This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container.
