Error running install.sh script: "This script uses docker, and it isn't running"

[sjpatel21]

Using Linux Mint 24.04

Trying to run the script using the command provided, but gives below error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the installation script for Unifi Network Application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This will deploy both the Unifi Network Application and MongoDB container, along with a bridge network to connect the two.

If you previously deployed containers unifi-db and unifi-network-application, they will be reinstalled.

Press enter to continue: 
Enter pressed. Let's GO!

This script uses docker, and it isn't running - please start docker and try again!

But the docker is installed:

Try to add "sudo" to each docker command in the script, you've not been the only one to experience this.
I think is just a matter of different system setup, on mine I can use docker without sudo, apparently on yours you can't. In the next days I'll try to look more into it.

Thanks for your feedback! Keep me posted.

@sjpatel21 news?

I had this issue also, (raspberry pi 3b+) but I just use sudo su before running the install script and it worked.
