Install docker on RedHatLinux 6.7

I am following the documentation https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/rhel/ to install docker on RHEL 6.7. When I run the command

sudo yum install docker-engine

I get the following error

Error: Package: docker-engine-1.9.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64 (dockerrepo)
           Requires: libsystemd-journal.so.0(LIBSYSTEMD_JOURNAL_196)(64bit)
Error: Package: docker-engine-1.9.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64 (dockerrepo)
           Requires: libsystemd-journal.so.0(LIBSYSTEMD_JOURNAL_195)(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

As per the suggestion I tried to run the command

sudo yum install docker-engine --skip-broken

Here is the output

    Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
    audit-libs-python-2.3.7-5.el6.x86_64 from RHEL-67-x86_64
    docker-engine-1.9.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64 from dockerrepo
    docker-engine-selinux-1.9.1-1.el7.centos.noarch from dockerrepo
    libsemanage-python-2.0.43-5.1.el6.x86_64 from RHEL-67-x86_64
    policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-24.el6.x86_64 from RHEL-67-x86_64
    setools-libs-3.3.7-4.el6.x86_64 from RHEL-67-x86_64
    setools-libs-python-3.3.7-4.el6.x86_64 from RHEL-67-x86_64

How can I fix above problems and install docker on RHEL 6.7 ?

Below steps do work for Docker to be installed on OEL 6.10 with a user having super user privileges.

Create a user with SUDO Access as suggested in Red-Hat Docs ([Link][1] speaks well on this process). For instance I created an user as docker with group as docker.
```
groupadd docker  
useradd -m -g docker docker
```

Add docker repository for installing latest copy of Docker for RHEL/Centos 6

yum update -y  
yum install epel-release  
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo

Add below contents to /etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo

[docker-repo]  
name=Docker Repo  
baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/6/  
enabled=1  
gpgcheck=1  
gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg

Switch to "docker" user and execute below commands:

sudo yum install -y docker-engine

Post Installation start docker using below commands.

sudo chkconfig docker on  

sudo service docker start  
Starting cgconfig service:                                 [  OK  ]  
Starting docker:                                           [  OK  ]  

sudo service docker status  
docker (pid  26925) is running...  

ps -ef | grep docker  
root     25590 14123  0 Jul27 ?        00:00:00 sshd: docker [priv]  
docker   25594 25590  0 Jul27 ?        00:00:00 sshd: docker@pts/1  
docker   25595 25594  0 Jul27 pts/1    00:00:00 -bash  
root     26925     1  2 00:00 pts/1    00:00:00 /usr/bin/docker -d  
docker   27106 25595  0 00:00 pts/1    00:00:00 ps -ef  
docker   27107 25595  0 00:00 pts/1    00:00:00 grep docker  

docker ps -a  
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES

For me was useful this link. I have an oracle server 6.10 and the steps are:

add epel packages: rpm -iUvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
update packages: yum update -y
Install docker: yum install docker-io -y
Start service: /etc/init.d/docker start
Configure service in start machine: chkconfig docker on
