  • I don’t have pinata… documentation/bug report docs should describe where to find it?

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Download Docker beta.
  2. Install from .dmg.
  3. After getting to the point where I need to give system permissions the install fails as described.

Found a fix for this:

$ chmod 600 /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.docker.vmnetd.plist
$ sudo launchctl load -Fw /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.docker.vmnetd.plist

Then, start Docker.app again.

This do not fix my case.

I don’t even have com.docker.vmnetd.plist on the LaunchDaemons folder.

I had docker toolbox installed and was using it with a VMWare machine. Tried Docker for Mac, had different version issues.
Uninstalled everything and then installed only Docker for Mac that started giving this error. On the first install I didn’t had this issue

Anyone can help?
