ICGC data download

I am new to the ICGC data verse. I would like to download some bam files specific to my interest in a particular cancer type. I am trying very hard to install all the dependencies like docker etc, before downloading the data, but some error or the other keeps coming up. In addition to that, I am confused with the different types of data, their repositories etc. Can someone point me to a nice tutorial that takes a hands-on approach and teaches how to download data from ICGC? After a frustrating day of trying to figure out, I am posting this. Please help!

Are you trying to use the icgc-get program to download the data? What is the error message that you are getting?
