# Installing a connector with Docker

## Intro

If you want the flexibility of installing the Apono connector on any machine, a docker container is a great alternative.

## Step-by-step guide

### Prerequisites

1. A docker installed on any machine
2. An Apono token
   * Find Your Integration Token:
     1. Select any integration in the [Catalog](https://app.apono.io/catalog).
     2. Under the Connector section, select **Add a New Connector** from the drop-down list
     3. Copy the token displayed toward the bottom of the section. This token is unique per account.

### Guide

1. In the following command, replace the variables:
   1. Replace `APONO-TOKEN` with the token you copied in the Prerequisites
   2. For `CONNECTOR_ID`, insert any name of your choosing
2. Run the command in the terminal:

{% code overflow="wrap" lineNumbers="true" %}

```sh
export APONO_TOKEN=[the token you copied from Apono Add Connector flow]
export CONNECTOR_ID=apono-connector

docker login registry.apono.io -u apono -p $APONO_TOKEN

docker run -e APONO_CONNECTOR_ID=$CONNECTOR_ID -e APONO_TOKEN=$APONO_TOKEN -e APONO_URL=api.apono.io registry.apono.io/apono-connector:v1.7.9
```

{% endcode %}

3. That's it!

## Results

1. If done correctly, you should see your docker Connector in the new integration dropdown list, or in the [Connectors page](https://app.apono.io/connectors)
