These instructions will get you up-and-running sandboxed containers with gVisor
and Docker.
-### Requirements
+Note that gVisor can only run on x86\_64 Linux 3.17+. In addition, gVisor only
+supports x86\_64 binaries inside the sandbox (i.e., it cannot run 32-bit
+binaries).

-gVisor only supports x86\_64 binaries inside the sandbox (i.e., it cannot run
-32-bit binaries).
+### Download a Nightly Build
-In addition, the following dependencies must be installed:
-
-* [git][git]
-* [Bazel][bazel]
-* [Python][python]
-* [Docker version 17.09.0 or greater][docker]
-* Gold linker (e.g. `binutils-gold` package on Ubuntu)
-
-### Getting the source
-
-Clone the gVisor repo:
-
-```
-git clone https://gvisor.googlesource.com/gvisor gvisor
-cd gvisor
-```
-
-### Building
-
-Build and install the `runsc` binary.
+The easiest way to get `runsc` is from a the latest nightly build.
+[here][runsc-nightly].
**It is important to copy this binary to some place that is accessible to all
users**, since `runsc` executes itself as user `nobody` to avoid unnecessary
privileges. The `/usr/local/bin` directory is a good choice.
+
```
-bazel build runsc
-sudo cp ./bazel-bin/runsc/linux_amd64_pure_stripped/runsc /usr/local/bin
+wget https://storage.googleapis.com/gvisor/releases/nightly/latest/runsc
+chmod +x runsc
+sudo mv runsc /usr/local/bin
