If you’ve ever tried installing n8n directly on your computer, you know the pain: failed dependencies, tangled Node.js installs, and hours spent fixing something that should “just work.”
There’s a better way—and it’s called Docker.
How to Do It
Visit docs.docker.com
Click Manuals → Products → Setup → Install
Download and install Docker Desktop
Open Docker, search “n8n”, and click Run
Go to http://localhost:5678 to start building automations
That’s it. No Node. No mess. Just automation.
At Singularity, we rely on high-speed, high-clarity automation. Docker helps our teams deploy tools like n8n instantly—no setup delays, no fragile dependencies. It’s one of the ways we keep engineering velocity high and our workflows clean.
