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 install --cask docker  open  Applications Docker app

The following steps work fine on macOS Sierra 10 12 4  Note that after brew installs Docker  the docker command  symbolic link  is not available at  usr local bin  Running the Docker app for the first time creates this symbolic link  See the detailed steps below    Install Docker   brew cask install docker  Launch Docker    Press     Space to bring up Spotlight Search and enter Docker to launch Docker  In the Docker needs privileged access dialog box  click OK  Enter password and click OK    When Docker is launched in this manner  a Docker whale icon appears in the status menu  As soon as the whale icon appears  the symbolic links for docker  docker-compose  docker-credential-osxkeychain and docker-machine are created in  usr local bin     ls -l  usr local bin docker  lrwxr-xr-x  1 susam  domain Users  67 Apr 12 14 14  usr local bin docker - gt   Users susam Library Group Containers group com docker bin docker lrwxr-xr-x  1 susam  domain Users  75 Apr 12 14 14  usr local bin docker-compose - gt   Users susam Library Group Containers group com docker bin docker-compose lrwxr-xr-x  1 susam  domain Users  90 Apr 12 14 14  usr local bin docker-credential-osxkeychain - gt   Users susam Library Group Containers group com docker bin docker-credential-osxkeychain lrwxr-xr-x  1 susam  domain Users  75 Apr 12 14 14  usr local bin docker-machine - gt   Users susam Library Group Containers group com docker bin docker-machine  Click on the docker whale icon in the status menu and wait for it to show Docker is running     Test that docker works fine     docker run hello-world Unable to find image  hello-world latest  locally latest  Pulling from library hello-world 78445dd45222  Pull complete Digest  sha256 c5515758d4c5e1e838e9cd307f6c6a0d620b5e07e6f927b07d05f6d12a1ac8d7 Status  Downloaded newer image for hello-world latest  Hello from Docker  This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly   To generate this message  Docker took the following steps   1  The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon   2  The Docker daemon pulled the  hello-world  image from the Docker Hub   3  The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the     executable that produces the output you are currently reading   4  The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client  which sent it     to your terminal   To try something more ambitious  you can run an Ubuntu container with     docker run -it ubuntu bash  Share images  automate workflows  and more with a free Docker ID   https   cloud docker com   For more examples and ideas  visit   https   docs docker com engine userguide     docker version Client   Version       17 03 1-ce  API version   1 27  Go version    go1 7 5  Git commit    c6d412e  Built         Tue Mar 28 00 40 02 2017  OS Arch       darwin amd64  Server   Version       17 03 1-ce  API version   1 27  minimum version 1 12   Go version    go1 7 5  Git commit    c6d412e  Built         Fri Mar 24 00 00 50 2017  OS Arch       linux amd64  Experimental  true  If you are going to use docker-machine to create virtual machines  install VirtualBox   brew cask install virtualbox   Note that if VirtualBox is not installed  then docker-machine fails with the following error     docker-machine create manager Running pre-create checks    Error with pre-create check   VBoxManage not found  Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path
