Will this app work on a raspberry pi? How do I install it ? Do you have any installation instructions?

Thanks

I think that should be possible, though I have no raspberry pi to test it.
x11docker is developed on debian, and there is debian based raspbian. If you can install docker on raspbian and an X server, and you have a display, it should be possible. x11docker needs at least docker and X to work, bash will already be part of raspbian, I assume.
What do you want to accomplish?
I have no special installation instructions. Assuming raspbian will be very similar to debian, I would try:
Install raspbian
Install docker and X
check if your display works
copy x11docker to /usr/local/bin and make it executeable with chmod +x

Edit: If your raspberry does not have a display and no X server and you are accessing it only over ssh, it is still possible to create a network connection to a computer with a display. x11docker currently has no specific network option, but it is possible. One way is to install xvfb and to use the x11docker --xdummy option. The created invisible X display can be accessed and remotly displayed with xpra.
