- Install Docker Community Edition from the [Docker Store][]. Follow the instructions for your specific operating system.
- Sign up for a free [GitHub][] account, if you don't have one already. If you do have an account, make sure you can login with your username and password.
You'll be using Docker containers throughout the tutorial to do your work. It's best to keep two CLI windows open at the same time: one to run the command line, and another to run your web server.
- Start an interactive container:
make cli
This will start the Django web server in a container, and will behave exactly as described in the tutorial.
