This topic discusses installation of Docker Desktop from an [Arch package](https://desktop-stage.docker.com/linux/main/amd64/docker-desktop-4.17.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst?utm_source=docker&utm_medium=webreferral&utm_campaign=docs-driven-download-linux-amd64) that Docker provides in addition to the supported platforms. Docker has not tested or verified the installation.
[Arch package (experimental)](https://desktop.docker.com/linux/main/amd64/docker-desktop-4.17.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst?utm_source=docker&utm_medium=webreferral&utm_campaign=docs-driven-download-linux-amd64){: .button .primary-btn }
_For checksums, see [Release notes](../release-notes.md)_
## Prerequisites
To install Docker Desktop successfully, you must meet the [system requirements](linux-install.md#system-requirements).
Additionally, for non-Gnome Desktop environments, `gnome-terminal` must be installed:
```console
$ sudo pacman -S gnome-terminal
```
## Install Docker Desktop
1. Install client binaries. Docker does not have an Arch package repository. Binaries not included in the package must be installed manually before installing Docker Desktop.
2. [Install Docker client binary on Linux](../../engine/install/binaries.md#install-daemon-and-client-binaries-on-linux). On Arch-based distributions, users must install the Docker client binary.
Static binaries for the Docker client are available for Linux (as `docker`).
3. Download the Arch package from the [release](../release-notes.md) page.
4. Install the package:
```console
$ sudo pacman -U ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.pkg.tar.zst
```
## Launch Docker Desktop
{% include desktop-linux-launch.md %}
## Next steps
- Take a look at the [Get started](../../get-started/index.md) training modules to learn how to build an image and run it as a containerized application.
- Review the topics in [Develop with Docker](../../develop/index.md) to learn how to build new applications using Docker.
