 ## Docker
 
+1. Install `docker` and `docker-compose`  
+   If you don't know how to install `docker` and `docker-compose`, you can find info in [introduction to docker](https://fullstackopen.com/en/part12/introduction_to_containers#installing-everything-required-for-this-part) , [overview of installing docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) and [get docker desktop](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
+   
+2. Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/havenweb/haven.git`
+3. Run `cd haven`
+4. Run `docker compose up`
+
 Feel free to use the included `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml`.  You probably want to modify the env vars in `docker-compose.yml` to specify a different `HAVEN_USER_EMAIL` and `HAVEN_USER_PASS`.  These will be used to create you initial user (and password) on startup.
 
 Docker images are published to the [GitHub Container Registry](https://github.com/havenweb/haven/pkgs/container/haven)
