The chapter you refer to is about running Jenkins as a docker container. If you used another installation process, just ignore That being said, docker is a nice complement to jenkins, and is used in various samples in documentation, including Declarative Pipeline. So I recommend you install it so you're not limited in your newcomer experience (install docker4mac/windows, it's just about few clicks)
