Provided you have [docker installed](https://github.com/GIScience/openrouteservice/blob/master/docker/README.md).

1. `docker pull openrouteservice/openrouteservice`
2. `docker run -p <desired host port>:8080 openrouteservice/openrouteservice`

Test service by going to a browser and hit `<host machine IP>:<desired host port>/ors/health` (e.g., `http://localhost:8080/ors/health`).

As per [official guide](https://github.com/GIScience/openrouteservice), you should get a `status = ready` if all goes well.
