Troubleshooting

When running docker command, if you get error message Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?

Apart from the case when docker daemon is not running, it's also possible that you don't have the correct environment variables set in your current shell (eg.in mac, you start your own shell instead of using Docker Quickstart Terminal), try running eval `docker-machine env default` to set up the environment variables
