Cannot Install Microsoft SQL Server 2022

Docker Desktop
1

When I try to install Microsoft SQL Server 2022 my Apple MacBook Pro using this command :
docker pull Microsoft Artifact Registry

I get this: client version 1.43 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.44

I’ve not been able to figure out how to fix this.

You Docker client is outdated, should be 29:

Client: Docker Engine - Community
Version: 24.0.7

Not sure how you got different versions for Desktop Engine and Client engine.

My guess is you installed another desktop like Podman Desktop or Rancher Desktop which installed its own Docker client. Then you stopped using that or at least stopped updating, but that client found first in PATH.

If that happened, you can manually override your PATH environment variable or uninstall other desktops you don’t use, or update all to have newer clients.

thank you very much.

I had to run this command (brew uninstall --cask docker) to get rid of the extra docker running on my machine. I was then able to install the current docker and install mssqlserver 2022 and oracle 26ai
