How can I upgrade Docker on a Mac?

Question

I tried just 'docker-machine upgrade' and that did some work but I don't seem to have the latest CLI.

If I do 'docker version' I get:

Client:
 Version:      1.8.2
 API version:  1.20
 Go version:   go1.4.2
 Git commit:   0a8c2e3
 Built:        Thu Sep 10 19:10:10 UTC 2015
 OS/Arch:      darwin/amd64

Server:
 Version:      1.11.2
 API version:  1.23
 Go version:   go1.5.4
 Git commit:   b9f10c9
 Built:        2016-06-01T21:20:08.558909126+00:00
 OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

I understand there are some new commands I'm not seeing so I suspect I don't have the latest software.

Answer 1

Surprisingly, this GUI button helped me.

Answer 2

Just try this way:

$ mkdir ~/docker
$ curl -Lo  ~/docker/docker-1.13.0-dev https://master.dockerproject.org/darwin/amd64/docker-1.13.0-dev
$ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/docker
$ sudo ln -s ~/docker/docker-1.13.0-dev /usr/local/bin/docker

you can find all current master branch in this link

Answer 3

For homebrew users: I needed to overwrite the last version of docker by using:

brew link --overwrite docker

Check with

docker --version

Answer 4

Since you are on mac, you should install homebrew and from there you can install and upgrade docker with the command brew install docker and brew upgrade. Homebrew is a package manager for mac that makes installation of such applications easy.
