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