Software requirements

You must have the following software installed in order to install Sitecore Experience Platform on Docker:

• One of the following operating systems:
  • Windows 11 or later
  • Windows Server 2022 or later
• Docker Desktop for Windows
• Windows PowerShell version 5.X

In addition, you must download the Sitecore Container Deployment Package from the Sitecore download page.

The package includes, among other things, two configuration files that are required by Sitecore Docker Compose:

• docker-compose.yml

  A Docker Compose configuration file that contains information about the different containers and configuration of each Sitecore role.

  Studying this file can help you understand how the containers and the connection strings between the different roles function.

• .env

  An environment variable configuration file that contains the configuration information for the environment you want to deploy. You can edit this file outside the main Docker Compose configuration.
