docker-machine: command not found

Question

I recently upgraded Docker Desktop for Mac to version 2.2.0.0, and now when try to run a docker-machine command I am getting an error:

$ docker-machine --version 

docker-machine: command not found

Docker Machine used to be installed with Docker, but it appears in the latest docs that this is no longer the case. What is the replacement or do I need to install Docker Machine from somewhere else?

Answer 1

Docker machine has been removed from later versions of Docker Desktop. Your going to need the docker-toolbox package.

Read here for install and co existence of the packages.

Answer 2

For Windows, if you have chocolatey installed, you follow the steps:

1. open a command shell with "Run as Administrator" selected (I tested this on my work laptop).
2. run "choco install docker-machine"
