Docker Engine is an open source containerization technology for building and containerizing your applications. This tutorial covers the method to install Docker-CE on RHEL7.6
Installation process:

Use the below commands to Install the yum-utils packages
[root@linuxhelp ~]# yum install yum-utils

This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
Package yum-utils-1.1.31-50.el7.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
Next, we have to install container-selinux package
[root@linuxhelp ~]# yum install http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/container-selinux-2.107-1.el7_6.noarch.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager

After the installation, configure the docker repository
[root@linuxhelp ~]# yum-config-manager \
> --add-repo \
> https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager

adding repo from: https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
grabbing file https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/docker-ce.repo
repo saved to /etc/yum.repos.d/docker-ce.repo
Enable the below repository to install docker-ce
[root@linuxhelp ~]# yum-config-manager --enable docker-ce-nightly docker-ce-test

After the installation we have to enable and start the docker services
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl enable docker
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/docker.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl start docker
To check the running status of docker
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl status docker

To use docker-compose we have to download the docker-compose file under /usr/local/bin directory
[root@linuxhelp ~]# curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
