Below you can find a reasonably easy step-by-step guide to the installation of IQdesktop and the required components. Note that installation of docker requires administrator rights on the host computer.
8.1 Docker
8.1.1 Windows
- Install docker-desktop that you can obtain from here: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop
- Add your username to the
docker
group- Press the Windows key
- Type “Computer Management”
- Right click “Computer Management” and select “Run as administrator”
- Navigate to “System Tools” -> “Local Users and Groups” -> “Groups” -> “docker-users”
- Double click “docker-users” group and add your account/username as member
- Start docker
- Update docker settings
- Find the docker icon in the Windows task bar and right click on it, select “Switch to Linux containers…” as shown in the figure to the right. If this option is not shown then do not change it
- Select “Settings” => “General” and uncheck “Use the WSL 2 based engine”
- Select “Settings” => “Resources” => “Advanced” and change the settings as desired. Typically I allow my docker installation to have access to at least half my computers memory and more than half the cores. After all I want to use it for computation.
- Select “Settings” => “Resources” => “File Sharing” in the Docker options and set a tick in the box for the C drive
