For example, the +latest nightly binary can be downloaded, validated, and placed in an appropriate +location by running: + +```bash +( + set -e + URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/gvisor/releases/nightly/latest + wget ${URL}/runsc + wget ${URL}/runsc.sha512 + sha512sum -c runsc.sha512 + rm -f runsc.sha512 + sudo mv runsc /usr/local/bin + sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/runsc + sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/runsc +) +``` + +**It is important to copy this binary to a location that is accessible to all +users, and ensure it is executable by all users**, since `runsc` executes itself +as user `nobody` to avoid unnecessary privileges. The `/usr/local/bin` directory +is a good place to put the `runsc` binary. + +After installation, the`runsc` binary comes with an `install` command that can +optionally automatically configure Docker: + +```bash +runsc install +``` + +[releases]: https://github.com/google/gvisor/releases |
