+1. **Choose an image:**
+
+   * Launch the `Create Instance Wizard
+     <https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?#LaunchInstanceWizard:>`_ menu
+     on your AWS Console.
+
+   * Click the ``Community AMI`` menu option on the left side
+   
+   * Search for '2014.03' and select one of the Amazon provided AMI, for example ``amzn-ami-pv-2014.03.rc-0.x86_64-ebs``
+
+   * For testing you can use the default (possibly free)
+     ``t1.micro`` instance (more info on `pricing
+     <http://aws.amazon.com/en/ec2/pricing/>`_).
+
+   * Click the ``Next: Configure Instance Details`` button at the bottom right.
+   
+2. After a few more standard choices where defaults are probably ok, your Amazon
+   Linux instance should be running!  
+   
+3. SSH to your instance to install Docker : ``ssh -i <path to your private key> ec2-user@<your public IP address>``
+
+4. Once connected to the instance, type ``sudo yum install -y docker ; sudo service docker start`` to install and start Docker
