-Check for User Space Tools

|
+Check runtime dependencies
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
-You must have a working installation of the `lxc <http://linuxcontainers.org>`_ utilities and library.
|

+To run properly, docker needs the following software to be installed at runtime:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- GNU Tar version 1.26 or later
|
|
|
+- iproute2 version 3.5 or later (build after 2012-05-21), and specifically the "ip" utility
|

|
+on OSX!).
