We are going to see Docker installation in RHEL7/ Cent OS 7.
Docker packages are available for RedHat Servers and RHEL Atomic Host editions alone not for other workstations or other variants of RHEL.
In this installation method internet is mandatory.

#curl –version
[root@localhost ~]# curl --version curl 7.29.0 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.29.0 NSS/3.21 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.7 libidn/1.28 libssh2/1.4.3 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smtp smtps telnet tftp Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz unix-sockets
