macOS provides a sub-optimal experience when running Linux containers, due to the following factors:

Requirements

  • 2010 or newer model Mac hardware
  • macOS 10.10.3 Yosemite or newer
  • Minimum 8GB of RAM
  • Minimum 400GB available disk space for building container images

Step 1: Install Docker CE for Mac

Download and install Docker CE for Mac from the Docker Store.

Step 2: Install Python 3 via Homebrew

The simplest way to install Python 3 and pip under macOS is to use the Homebrew package manager. To do so, run the following commands from a Terminal prompt:

# Install Homebrew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

# Install Python
brew install python

Step 3: Install ue4-docker

Install the ue4-docker Python package by running the following command from a Terminal prompt:

sudo pip3 install ue4-docker

Step 4: Manually configure Docker daemon settings

Use the Advanced section under the Resources tab of the Docker Desktop settings pane to set the memory allocation for the Moby VM to 8GB and the maximum VM disk image size to 400GB.
