Added a prerequisites section and explanation of the docker compose up command in README_DOCKER.md.

These improvements help new contributors understand required tools and what happens when starting SW360 using Docker.

Before running SW360 using Docker, ensure the following tools are installed:

- Docker (recommended version 20 or higher)
- Docker Compose
- Git

Check installation:

docker --version
docker compose version
git --version

That is a no brainer. You would already have git to clone the repo, you should already have docker to start playing with docker.

Thank you for the clarification. I understand that these requirements are already implied for users working with Docker. I have removed the changes accordingly.
