CentOS 7 - Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

Docker Engine Swarm

I tried to install the docker in CentOS 7 and got daemon error. I tried all the methods available on the internet for installation and for debugging but none really worked! I even tried to install older versions of docker that didn’t work either.

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

 Version:         1.13.1

The Centos7 distribution of docker is very VERY outdated. Follow these instructions to remove the centos version, and install the latest.
