Can't install docker properly

Question

Installed docker1.6 from deb package but have a problem on running:

sudo docker version Client version: 1.6.2 Client API version: 1.18 Go version (client): go1.4.2 Git commit (client): 7c8fca2 OS/Arch (client): linux/amd64 FATA[0000] Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.18/version: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?

Any ideas how to fix or debug it?

I didn't have external net on that machine so I downloaded docker deb by this script:

#!/bin/bash
docker_version=1.6.1
get_docker=https://get.docker.io/ubuntu/pool/main/l

for package in lxc-docker lxc-docker-$docker_version; do
    deb=${package}_${docker_version}_amd64.deb
    curl -s $get_docker/$package/$deb -o $deb
done

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's not about programming. Try http://askubuntu.com/ — Keith Thompson, Jul 01 '15 at 14:53

That error means the Docker daemon isn't running. Try running docker -d first, then running your Docker command.

If that returns an error, you'll need to figure out why (you may be missing a dependency for example).

I don't have external net on that server. – ton4eg Jul 01 '15 at 14:52
