While working on Prefect, is it a must to have Docker installed? For its installation, I need to do update my Windows, and the last time I did it, my laptop got so slow, it became unusable I had to format it. Please help

Since you posted in this channel, I assume that by “working on Prefect” you mean “contributing to Prefect”. If that’s true, you do not need Docker to contribute unless you’re working on Docker-specific things like

storage. This guide has some information on contributing: https://docs.prefect.io/core/development/overview.html

@Aditya Mandke - we spoke yesterday about using Docker to get around some of the Windows-specific development issues you were seeing, should we be looking at a different solution instead?

Yes @james.lamb I wanted to say 'contribute', my bad. Okay, noted. Thanks
