Another option to running DockoMatic is through a pre-packaged virtual machine (VM). These are Linux VMs with DockoMatic installed and configured. Once the appliance is imported you can start the VM and have DockoMatic up and running. You can download the DockoMatic VirtualBox appliance from the download page in the virtual machines folder.

You will need to install VirtualBox. Once that's done see this page on importing virtual machines to import the downloaded VirtualBox appliance of your choice.
