Docker installs

The traditional way to the install something like 7zip on a Windows laptop would be:-

• Use Google to find the software’s website.
• Go there and download a zip or MSI file
• Run the (unzipped) installer or MSI file
• Start the software by clicking a desktop icon or finding it in “all programs”.

The equivalent steps in docker would be:-

• Find the software on docker hub with docker search
• Downloads the software image with docker pull
• Create a container from the image with docker create
• Start the software by running the container with docker start

However, a better way would be:-

• Find the software on docker hub with docker search
• Download, unpack, install, and start the software with docker run
