How to install docker man pages on Mac os

Question

I've installed docker on mac os as written in documentation.

But in some docs (for example in the docker book) I see the recomendations to use man docker-run (man docker-pull, etc).

But when I run such command I get the error:

bessarabov@bessarabov-osx:~$ man docker
No manual entry for docker

How can I install docker man-documentation to my Mac OS system?

As of 2017.06.01, you have to git checkout your desired tag/version from

• version >= 17.06: https://github.com/docker/docker-ce
• version < 17.06: https://github.com/moby/moby

and then, go to the components/cli directory and execute:

make -f docker.Makefile manpages

To add the manpages to the manpath:

echo "MANPATH $PWD/man" | sudo tee -a /private/etc/man.conf

It looks like docker has slightly changed since @Sergiy's answer. Here is a slightly updated version that worked for me.

git clone https://github.com/docker/docker.git
cd docker/man                      # looks like the directory has moved up
docker build -t docker/md2man .    # don't forget the '.'
docker run -v $PWD/:/docs:rw -w /docs -i docker/md2man /docs/md2man-all.sh
sudo cp -R man* /usr/share/man/    # you'll likely need sudo access for this
man docker                         # check it worked
