I get an error that I can not connect to the macos :: daemon daemon

Question

I am using a docker in a mac mojave.

I normally use the docker, but suddenly I get an error today.

I downloaded the docker from the official homepage of the docker rather than the brew, but when I input the docker command, the following error

error

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.

Dozer version

18.06.1-ce, build e68fc7a

I looked at the article asking me to install docker-machine and virtualbox to solve my problem.

However, I have not had any problems using the Docker until now, but I am now wondering about this error.

Of course, I have been using the docker for a few days and have been doing tutorials such as simply loading images.

I tried to check if the daemon is running, but the service command does not work. — dsfdsf2fafad, Nov 03 '18 at 11:18
I removed ~ / Library / Containers / com.docker. * And solved the problem. — dsfdsf2fafad, Nov 03 '18 at 18:55

Docker cannot run on MAC directly , you need to install and configure Docker For MAC , that uses a form of virtualization.

I had this error after using the downloaded mac installer. It went away after I opened the docker app for the first time and accepted the terms. I noticed opening docker created some files, so I suppose it's setting up some stuff when you open it for the first time.
