Magento 2 0.42.0-beta1 is available since a few days. In order to test it right away, we will see how to install a running demo in 5 minutes sharp thanks to Docker. If you don't know Docker, please report to our previous tutorial.

We will even go further and give you the choice between two types of setup:

a read-only discovery mode running instance of Magento 2 in order to discover the new admin interface and click
a developer mode, in order to have a development environnement and start playing with the brand new technical features of Magento 2.

Disclaimer : We assume you have a running and fonctionnal Docker on your computer.
