Hi, I got this error when I tried to run:

Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Verbose

Error:

Install-Package : The term 'Install-WindowsFeature' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file,
or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and
try again.

Docker will not work on system lower than Windows Server 2016 anyway.

Any workaround ?

Upgrade to Windows Server 2016 (or, soon, 2019).

Other folks on this thread are correct. Please upgrade to WS2016 or newer. Containers are not a supported feature prior to that release.
