Docker is supported on these Ubuntu operating systems:

- Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 (LTS)
- Ubuntu Wily 15.10
- Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 (LTS)
- Ubuntu Precise 12.04 (LTS)

This page instructs you to install using Docker-managed release packages and
installation mechanisms. Using these packages ensures you get the latest official
release of Docker. If you are required to install using Ubuntu-managed packages,
consult the Ubuntu documentation.

>**Note**: Ubuntu Utopic 14.10 and 15.04 exist in Docker's `APT` repository but
are no longer officially supported.

## Prerequisites

Docker requires a 64-bit installation regardless of your Ubuntu version.
Additionally, your kernel must be 3.10 at minimum. The latest 3.10 minor version
or a newer maintained version are also acceptable.

Kernels older than 3.10 lack some of the features required to run Docker<commit_msg>Adding Yakkety to opening list<commit_after>---
