docker installation

I created a docker container from my OS X VM Docker host. I created it using the run command and created the container based off the ubuntu:xenial image off docker hub.

I'm now connected to my container after it's created and logged in as root and at the command prompt inside my container.

I tried to install homebrew and for some reason, I can't run the command to install Homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

when I run that I get a bash:

curl: command not found

Not sure why I'm not able to use curl here inside my container.

curl: command not found

is a big hint, you have to install it with :

apt-get update; apt-get install curl
