 Weave Net respects the environment variable `DOCKER_HOST`, so that you can run and control a Weave Network locally on a remote host. See [Using The Weave Docker API Proxy]({{ '/tasks/weave-docker-api/using-proxy' | relative_url }}).
 
 With Weave Net downloaded onto your VMs or hosts, you are ready to launch a Weave network and deploy apps onto it. See [Launching Weave Net]({{ '/install/using-weave' | relative_url }}).
