Hyperledger Fabric Got permission denied Docker daemon socket at unix var run docker sock

Question

I am trying to install Hyperledger Fabric from the docs. When I run this command:

curl -sSL http://bit.ly/2ysbOFE | bash -s 1.3.0

I get permission denied error:

Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock

Answer 1

You are getting this error probably because you don't have permissions to read/write this file. All you have to do to solve this is give that file read/write permissions.

chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
