Use the same credentials as for the container registry login page in Figure 2-3. If the login succeeds, then copy the docker pull command from the Pull Command for Latest section in the lower right of Figure 2-4. The command is shown here for version 19:
docker pull container-registry.oracle.com/database/enterprise:19.3.0.0

Warning
I had to attempt this installation a few times and I found that one important part seems to be ensuring that there is in excess of 10 GB of free disk space.
The Oracle web page is subject to change. At the time of this writing, the docker pull command is located in the area shown in Figure 2-4. These installation instructions were verified for the following Oracle Database image: Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0—Production.
Paste the docker pull command into the command prompt and run it. This initiates the download of the image. At the time of this writing, this exceeds 3 GB, so it will take a while to complete depending on your internet access speed.
If the pull operation succeeds, then run the following command (on one line and without the slash characters), as shown in Example 2-1.

In Example 2-1, you can use any values you like for the name, ORACLE_SID, and ORACLE_PWD parameters. Make a note of them, as you’ll need them later.
While the container creation is running, you can execute the following command to verify that the installation is progressing. Remember to substitute the name you used in Example 2-1:
docker logs oracle-std3
If all is well with your installation, you should see log output similar to Example 2-2.

If you see log details similar to Example 2-2, leave it to run for a few minutes and then rerun the docker logs oracle-std3 command. At this point, the log details should look something like Example 2-3.
