Docker commands run only with sudo

Docker Desktop

Hi. I’ve just installed Docker for Mac. There was no issues during installation. Docker is running. But when I try to execute any docker command in terminal I get message that command not found. It works only if I use sudo.
How I can make docker to run commands without sudo?
I do not have any DOCKER* environment variables set.

Here is diagnostics info:

+1 for using docker on mac without sudo (not everybody has admin rights)

Not sure how this is solved on a OSX environment. On linux there is a docker group you can add your user to in order to get rid of sudo’ing docker.
