Newbie question

Sorry for my bad English and newbie question,
I just installed the latest software v4.22.0,
Every video tutorial I watch about docker is certain terminal or text editor
For example this video: https://youtu.be/iqqDU2crIEQ?t=294,
but when I open the docker in Windows Desktop, the app that running is the “docker desktop”,
There is no “terminal”,

  1. Do I need to “upgrade plan” or “log in” to use the “terminal”?
  2. I like to edit a py file in docker using Build in the IDLE python script editor, can I?

Note :

  • Me using Windows 11, and the penguin Linux is already in “my computer” “navigation panel”
  • Visual Studio is installed, but I don’t know how to use it

thank you for reading, have a nice day

The docker cli should be available in any Windows terminal (pwsh/cmd), regardless whether you logged in or upgraded the plan.

Note: You can open a terminal using the shortcut “win” + “r”, then type “pwsh” or “cmd”, or through the start menu.

thanks for your reply,
Alright I already login, but still confused about using it,
Can you give me a simple tutorial to create a container and then run helloworld.py (the content is [print(“hello world”)]),
I know my request is ridiculous, everybody using Mac and Linux, I use Windows 11

If you google for “docker getting started” or “docker desktop getting started” the first links should provide the info you are looking for.

If no one used Windows for development, Docker Desktop for Windows would not exist, would it? :smiley:
