Recently, I have tried installing docker on my Mac using brew
[crayon-60825f2e15a9a378633793/]
To make sure it was installed, I ran
[crayon-60825f2e15ab7909079043/]
For a moment, It looked Docker is installed successfully, untiĀ I tried to check the docker processes using
[crayon-60825f2e15abb433866428/]
After, this I have started seeing the error message “Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock”
After, some juggling between existing issues reported on Github, I found that Docker doesn’t support installation using Homebrew. So I uninstalled the docker using
[crayon-60825f2e15abd645547784/]
and installed using the link : Docker Official Mac Installation
And Docker works perfectly now.
Until...
