Step 1) Verify that you have docker installed. Type “docker –version” into your command prompt. See that you have the version number printed.
Step 2) Verify that the non-root user has the permissions to run docker. “docker run hello-world”
If the non-root user don’t have permissions to run docker, then see if the root user can run hello-world “sudo docker run hello-world”
Step 3) Assign the non-root user the permissions to run docker by following the steps here: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/
Step 4) Restart the VM.
