Windows: Figure 1-1. The Docker Desktop For Windows Download Button

The document provides instructions for installing Docker Desktop on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. For Windows, it instructs users to download and run the Docker Desktop installer, enable required features, and add their user to the docker-users group. For Mac OS, it instructs users to download Docker.dmg, drag the Docker icon to Applications, and start Docker from the Applications folder. For Linux, it provides links to distribution-specific installation instructions, giving a Debian/Ubuntu example that removes older versions, installs prerequisite packages, adds Docker's GPG key, and sets up the stable repository.
