About Docker CLI
Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. \
It enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure, so you can deliver software quickly
([overview](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/)).
This package contains the docker client for Windows which is used to administer your docker hosts remotely. \
It does not contain the docker engine to run containers on a Windows host.
If you do need to run Windows or Linux containers on Windows, take a look at [Docker-Desktop](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/docker-desktop).
