docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?. when trying to run wasp start db, make sure you have Docker installed and its running.
On Mac OS, just find the Docker app in your launchpad and click it. You should see a Docker icon in your top right menu bar. If so, you're good to go!3 Replies
