* docs(install): explain how to install Docker instead of a dead end The installer stopped with 'missing required command: docker' and nothing else, which left self-hosters on a clean machine with no next step. Since Puter self-hosting is a Docker Compose stack, that check is also the very first thing a new user hits. Print the official install links for macOS/Windows and Linux plus the 'docker compose version' sanity check, and cover the same ground in doc/self-hosting.md under Requirements and Troubleshooting. The installer still does not install Docker itself — per the maintainer's note on #4346, pulling a remote script into a system package manager is too intrusive. This only makes the failure actionable. * fix: remove extra sh stuff already merged --------- Co-authored-by: Daniel Salazar <dash.salazar@gmail.com>

Getting Started
💻 Local Development
git clone https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter
cd puter
npm install
npm start
→ This should launch Puter at http://puter.localhost:4100
To run this checkout with Docker, follow Building from source. Create a local docker-compose.override.yml to select the local build; keeping these settings out of docker-compose.yml avoids conflicts when pulling updates and keeps local configuration out of pull requests.
