## INSTALL DOCKER:
Install docker-ce to your Ubuntu server following the [official instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/).
Ensure you install the `docker-compose-plugin` mentioned within these instructions
## INSTALL NVIDIA CONTAINER TOOLKIT
The easiest way to get running with NVIDIA GPUs is to install the [NVIDIA Container Toolkit](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit?tab=readme-ov-file).
Follow the [official instructions](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html#installing-with-apt) for installing the container toolkit to your Ubuntu server with apt.
If you do this, ensure that when you configure Docker Compose in the next step you choose the `nvidia` runtime.
Alternately, it is possible to run the container without the NVIDIA runtime by uncommenting the `/dev/nvidia` devices in the Compose file.
## CONFIGURE DOCKER COMPOSE:
Once you have installed docker, follow the [Compose Files](./docker-compose.md) section and select the right configuration file for your hardware.
