⁠Run the INfORM docker image, map http port 3838 on the host port 8787:

docker run --rm -p 8787:3838 grecolab/inform

Open your browser and visit (if you choose to map to other port replace 8787 in the url with the correct one): http://localhost:8787/INfORM⁠

⁠Issues with running INfORM docker image and access via url

⁠1) Docker toolbox

• Window 10 Home versions and Older versions of Windows might require some BIOS configuration to enable virtualization technology.
• I suggest using the Kitematic (alpha) for maintaining the docker image and identifying the correct url. The host and port might change based on the virtual machine.
• Use the Oracle VM VirtualBox for specifying the desired RAM (Base Memory) and Processors.
