+## Install Docker Image
+
+Integration tests require [docker](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/install-and-configure/install-opensearch/docker/).
+
+Run the following commands to install the docker image:
+
+```
+docker pull opensearchproject/opensearch:latest
+```
+
+Integration tests will auto-start the docker image. To start it manually:
+
+```
+docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9600:9600 -e "discovery.type=single-node" opensearchproject/opensearch:latest
+```
+
