Brew install docker does not include docker engine

Question

Trying to setup docker from brew, however the engine does not seem to be included in any of the any of the official formulas.

brew install docker-machine docker-compose

So these only installs the clients? Is there no keg with the engine/daemon?

Answer 1

Please try running

brew install docker

This will install the Docker engine, which will require Docker-Machine (+ VirtualBox) to run on the Mac.

If you want to install the newer Docker for Mac, which does not require virtualbox, you can install that through Homebrew's Cask:

brew cask install docker
