This method is the latest (Sep 2015) and easiest way to get Docker setup on Mac: link here:

You install Docker using Docker Toolbox link to instructions here:

It is a complete Docker setup package, that includes the following Docker tools:

Docker Machine for running the docker-machine binary

Docker Engine for running the docker binary

Docker Compose for running the docker-compose binary

Kitematic, the Docker GUI a shell preconfigured for a Docker command-line environment

Oracle VM VirtualBox

What's in the toolbox:

• Docker Client
• Docker Machine
• Docker Compose (Mac only)
• Docker Kitematic
• VirtualBox
