Introduction

Container Engine Requirements

The purpose of this installation guide is to provide information on installing and configuring licensing for MapleSim Server ™. While it would be beneficial to have some prior knowledge and experience in working with container engines, specifically the Docker container engine, the information in this guide will guide you through the entire installation process, including loading, running and stopping Docker containers.

Container Engine Requirements

You must have a Container Engine installed to run the MapleSim Server container.

The instructions in this guide are given using the Docker Container Engine. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/install.

For information on supported Windows, Linux and Mac platforms see https://docs.docker.com/ee/supported-platforms.
