System requirements
A: Check to make sure your Install macOS High Sierra App is the correct one. It should be around 5GB in size. If you used the 'Skip App Verification' option, you have most likely selected an invalid app that doesn't contain the necessary files. Q: I cannot open my copy of Install macOS High Sierra with the patch tool. Sep 20, 2016 That utility, along with a USB drive with a capacity of at least 8GB and a copy of Sierra, should let you install macOS on that handful of older devices. All the usual caveats apply: installing.
Your Mac must meet the following requirements to successfully install Docker Desktop:
Mac hardware must be a 2010 or a newer model with an Intel processor, with Intel's hardware support for memory management unit (MMU) virtualization, including Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. You can check to see if your machine has this support by running the following command in a terminal:
sysctl kern.hv_support
If your Mac supports the Hypervisor framework, the command prints
kern.hv_support: 1
.macOS must be version 10.14 or newer. That is, Mojave, Catalina, or Big Sur. We recommend upgrading to the latest version of macOS.
If you experience any issues after upgrading your macOS to version 10.15, you must install the latest version of Docker Desktop to be compatible with this version of macOS.
Note
Docker supports Docker Desktop on the most recent versions of macOS. That is, the current release of macOS and the previous two releases. As new major versions of macOS are made generally available, Docker stops supporting the oldest version and supports the newest version of macOS (in addition to the previous two releases). Docker Desktop currently supports macOS Mojave, macOS Catalina, and macOS Big Sur.
At least 4 GB of RAM.
VirtualBox prior to version 4.3.30 must not be installed as it is not compatible with Docker Desktop.
- Oct 08, 2019 At the time of writing, the current version of macOS is Catalina (10.15.x), and the two previous versions are Mojave (10.14.6) and macOS High Sierra (10.13.6). Keep in mind that even though these two older macOS versions still receive security updates, not all known vulnerabilities are addressed.
- Format a USB drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) via Disk Utility. Open the macOS High Sierra Patcher tool, navigate to the High Sierra Installer App, then select your pen drive and click 'Start Operation'. Boot from the USB drive by holding down the option key after reboot.
