1. Clone the repository.
2. Run in a repository folder:

# docker-compose build
# docker-compose up -d

This will run IRIS in docker container with port for Control Panel on 52791 and will import all the code into SAMPLES namespace. 3. Open the terminal to IRIS with:

# docker-compose exec iris iris session iris
USER>zn "SAMPLES"
SAMPLES>w ##class(ObjectScript.Examples).DoubleByVal(2)
