+## Install latest release {#install-latest}
+
+To download and install the latest release manually follow these steps:
+
+```bash
+(
+ set -e
+ URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/gvisor/releases/release/latest
+ wget ${URL}/runsc ${URL}/runsc.sha512
+ sha512sum -c runsc.sha512
+ rm -f runsc.sha512
+ sudo mv runsc /usr/local/bin
+ sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/runsc
+)
+```
+
+To install gVisor with Docker, run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+/usr/local/bin/runsc install
+sudo systemctl restart docker
+docker run --rm --runtime=runsc hello-world
+```
+
+For more details about using gVisor with Docker, see
+[Docker Quick Start](./quick_start/docker.md)
+
+Note: It is important to copy `runsc` to a location that is readable and
+executable to 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.

+## Install from an `apt` repository
+
+First, appropriate dependencies must be installed to allow `apt` to install
+packages via https:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update && \
+sudo apt-get install -y \

+ curl \

+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://gvisor.dev/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
+sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://storage.googleapis.com/gvisor/releases release main"
+```
+
+Now the runsc package can be installed:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y runsc
+```
+
+If you have Docker installed, it will be automatically configured.
