trying to run forgae node in windows 8 and get the following error :slight_smile:
forgae node error: error: 'Error: Command failed: docker ps

Hello,

forgae needs docker to run, did you verify it is installed correctly?

I think I also experienced that problem when I tried to use forgAE the last time. I was running docker via docker-toolbox through VirtualBox.

thats why I asked in this thread about exactly that topic! :wink:

Hi, @todosunidos!

It is recommended to use Docker Desktop for Windows as application which provides building, shipping, and running dockerized apps. Install on Windows | Docker Documentation

While executing the command - forgae node, the docker desktop app will prompt you to share access to your machine. (Visual Studio Feedback).

forgae requires python 2.7 on your machine.

I just opened this issue:

For people that do not want to install docker on windows but still use docker-toolbox you should add some notes to the README.

And it must be possible to specify a certain endpoint where the local nodes are reachable.
