Install Docker

Docker is the only dependency required to run WordPressify. It packages the WordPress environment, database, and build tools into containers so everything works the same on any OS.

Verify Installation

After installing, confirm the Docker daemon is running:

docker info

This is the same check WordPressify runs before executing any Docker command. If it prints server information, you are ready to go. If it fails, open Docker Desktop and wait for it to finish starting; if the command is not found at all, restart your terminal or check the troubleshooting page.
