Docker Toolbox is cool! It is a single point download that gives you everything to get started with Docker. But it comes with other tools like VirtualBox and Kitematic which you may not want. So what do you do?
You install the tools that you like using CLI. This blog shows how to do exactly that. All the commands are installed in the /usr/bin/local
directory.
