Docker Toolbox is cool! It is a single point download that gives you everything to get started with Docker. But it comes with other tools like VirtualBox and Kitematic which you may not want. So what do you do?

You install the tools that you like using CLI. This blog shows how to do exactly that. All the commands are installed in the /usr/bin/local directory.

Latest Docker CLI

This command downloads and installs the latest Docker CLI.

Another simpler way to install and manage different versions of CLI are using Docker Version Manager or dvm. DVM provides a decent set of commands:

Latest Docker Machine

This command downloads and installs the latest Docker Machine.

Latest Docker Compose

This command downloads and installs the latest Docker Compose.

Enjoy!
