 There are two ways to get the Docker container: pull it from our [GitLab registry](https://git.scicore.unibas.ch/schwede/ma-wilkins-import/container_registry) or build it from the [Dockerfile](Dockerfile) in this Git repository.
 
+### Pull the Docker container from GitLab registry
+
+Our GitLab registry keeps a copy of the container with the latest code, ready to be downloaded and used right away. With Docker installed, issue the following command in a terminal:
+
+```terminal
+$ docker pull registry.scicore.unibas.ch/schwede/ma-wilkins-import/converter:latest
+```
+
+Output of the command above will be similar to this:
+
+```terminal
+$ docker pull registry.scicore.unibas.ch/schwede/ma-wilkins-import/converter:latest
+latest: Pulling from schwede/ma-wilkins-import/converter
