+Alternatively, see [other install options](https://git-scm.com/install/windows).

+## Install Docker
+
+Devcontainers run on top of Docker, which needs to be installed. Again, the methods will depend on your operating system.
+
+In general: if you get an error about not having permission to use Docker, you may need to add your user to the `docker` group. The details vary, but often this is a case of running the following command:
+
+```bash
+sudo usermod --append --group docker $USERNAME
+```
+
+Where you must substitute `$USERNAME` with your actual username. After that, reboot your computer to ensure that this change takes effect.

Thank you. I went with "Substitute `$USERNAME` with your actual username in the command above".
