Instructions for Server 2019 Installation

All commands are run from PowerShell.

Need to have both Hyper-V and Containers features installed on the server.

Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V,Containers -IncludeAllSubFeature -IncludeManagementTools

Once installed, reboot.

Restart-Computer -Force
