Docker Setup
Why Docker?
Virtual Machine technology allows one to run multiple instances of machine in SW. Similar to this paradigm, Docker allows one to run multiple instances of operating system. In Docker, these instances of OS are called "containers". We can use Docker containers to run any OS and SW written for that OS (with some exceptions) as long as the host machine supports Docker. For example, one can run SW that was written for Ubuntu on Windows; or more accurately, inside of a "Ubuntu container" running on Windows.
We can leverage Docker to run OpenCXL on platforms that support Docker.

Install Docker
If you do not already have Docker installed, follow the Docker Install Instructions.
If you are using Linux, please be sure to run the Linux post-installation steps. You may run into permission issues later if this is not done.
