The prefect-docker library is required to create deployments that will submit runs to most Prefect work pool infrastructure types.

​
Getting started

​
Prerequisites

​
Install prefect-docker

The following command will install a version of prefect-docker compatible with your installed version of prefect. If you don’t already have prefect installed, it will install the newest version of prefect as well. 
pip install "prefect[docker]"
Upgrade to the latest versions of prefect and prefect-docker: 
pip install -U "prefect[docker]"

​
Examples

See the Prefect Workers docs to learn how to create and run deployments that use Docker.
