Run your ALICE environment from a container. Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/),

then\*:

    ${SHELL} <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alidock/alidock/master/alidock-installer.sh)

   

Windows users can [install the package with pip](https://pypi.org/pypi/alidock) instead.

You may need to close and reopen your terminal as advised. Run alidock now:

    alidock

You are instantly dropped in a shell with a consistent ALICE environment from a Docker container.

From there you can directly run, for example:

    aliBuild init O2@dev --defaults o2

    aliBuild build O2 --defaults o2

and it will download the precompiled binaries for you.

Your home directory in the container, called `/home/alidock`, is available from outside the

container in `~/alidock`. This means you can use your favourite text editor or IDE from your laptop,

no need to edit from inside the container.

📜 Full documentation available [on the Wiki](https://github.com/alidock/alidock/wiki).

\* bash is supported, zsh should work too.
