-### IMPORTANT: Before You Start
-
-1. Make sure you're running a **64 bit** version of either [Ubuntu 12.04 LTS](http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/), [Ubuntu 13.04](http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/) or [Ubuntu 13.10](http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10/).
-1. Upgrade to the [latest version of Docker](http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/ubuntulinux/).
-1. Create a directory for Discourse Docker (the expected path is `/var/docker`): `install -g docker -m 2775 -d /var/docker`
-1. Run the docker installation and launcher as **root** or a member of the **docker** group.
-1. Add your user account to the docker group: `usermod -a -G docker yourusername` and re-login.
