Docker Sandboxes run AI coding agents in isolated microVM sandboxes. Each
sandbox gets its own Docker daemon, filesystem, and network &acirc;&#128;&#148; the agent can
build containers, install packages, and modify files without touching your host
system.

Organization admins can
[centrally manage sandbox network and filesystem policies](/ai/sandboxes/governance/org/)
from the Docker Admin Console, so the same rules apply uniformly across every
developer's machine. Available on a separate paid subscription.

## Get started

For complete system requirements, see the
[get started prerequisites](/ai/sandboxes/get-started/#prerequisites).

Install the `sbx` CLI and sign in:

**macOS**



```console
$ brew install docker/tap/sbx
$ sbx login
```

**Windows**



```powershell
&gt; winget install -h Docker.sbx
&gt; sbx login
```

**Linux (Ubuntu)**



```console
$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo REPO_ONLY=1 sh
$ sudo apt-get install docker-sbx
$ sudo usermod -aG kvm $USER
$ newgrp kvm
$ sbx login
```



Then launch an agent in a sandbox:

```console
$ cd ~/my-project
$ sbx run claude
```

See the [get started guide](/ai/sandboxes/get-started/) for a full walkthrough, or jump to
the [usage guide](/ai/sandboxes/usage/) for common patterns.
