title: Installing Weave Net
menu_order: 30
---
Ensure you are running Linux (kernel 3.8 or later) and have Docker
(version 1.6.0 or later) installed.
Install Weave Net by running the following:
sudo curl -L git.io/weave -o /usr/local/bin/weave
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/weave
If you are on OSX and are using Docker Machine you need to make sure
that a VM is running and configured before getting Weave Net. Setting up a VM is shown in [the Docker Machine
documentation](https://docs.docker.com/installation/mac/#from-your-shell).
After the VM is configured with Docker Machine, Weave Net can be launched directly from the OSX host.
Weave Net respects the environment variable `DOCKER_HOST`, so that you can run
and control a Weave Network locally on a remote host. See [Using The Weave Docker API Proxy](/site/weave-docker-api/using-proxy.md).
With Weave Net downloaded onto your VMs or hosts, you are ready to launch a Weave network and deploy apps onto it. See [Using Weave Net](/site/using-weave.md).
