Bash: ip: command not found?

General

Hi,

I’m currently trying to set up a hyperledger fabric network using docker toolbox, based on the guide here

When it comes to “Starting up validating peers” step, I follow and entered “ip add” into the terminal, but it returns bash: ip: command not found. Any solution? I’ve tried ifconfig as well and it’s the same issue, command not found.

Using Docker Toolbox on Windows 10 Home

Thanks

I think in there they imply that you are SSHed into the VM, where ip command should be available. You want something like docker-machine ssh to spawn a SSH shell first.

I’m having a similar problem. The ip command doesn’t seem to be present.

What I find even more confusing is that I can’t install the ip command using apt, and iproute2 is not in /var/lib/dpkg/available:

root@b3a02173dad2:/# !5
apt install iproute2

E: Unable to locate package iproute2
root@b3a02173dad2:/#
root@b3a02173dad2:/# fgrep iproute2 /var/lib/dpkg/available
root@b3a02173dad2:/#docker-for-mac

I think the right way to proceed is to add a ubuntu repository and then run apt install again. But that seems rather extreme and I wonder if there is a better solution?
