 # Basic Usage
+First, the program must be downloaded with `pip3` (requires Python 3.6.1 `sudo apt install python3` or higher *and* FFmpeg 4.2 `sudo apt install ffmpeg` or higher) via `pip3 install spotdl`.
+
 To download a track, album, or artist from Spotify, use:
 `spotdl <url e.g. https://open.spotify.com/artist/3q7HBObVc0L8jNeTe5Gofh?si=fd6100828a764c3b>`
 
 This is non-interactive and works programmatically.
 
+## Using Docker Container
+If the host has Docker, but you don't want to install any Python packages, you can run single commands with the Docker container with `docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/data coritsky/spotdl <url e.g. https://open.spotify.com/artist/3q7HBObVc0L8jNeTe5Gofh?si=fd6100828a764c3b>`.
