Arch install instructions for Docker Desktop on Linux is missing sudo for install steps #23552

Is this a docs issue?

  • My issue is about the documentation content or website

Type of issue

Information is incorrect

Description

The "Install Docker Desktop" steps have:

 wget https://download.docker.com/linux/static/stable/x86_64/docker-28.5.1.tgz -qO- | tar xvfz - docker/docker --strip-components=1
 cp -rp ./docker /usr/local/bin/ && rm -r ./docker

These steps do work, but the cp command is missing sudo. Without it, it fails to copy to /usr/local/bin/.

Location

https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/linux/archlinux/

Suggestion

The cp command is adjusted to sudo cp -rp ./docker /usr/local/bin/ && rm -r ./docker.

The only reason I didn't open a PR directly is because I'm wondering if not including sudo was done on purpose to avoid referencing sudo commands in the docs.

Happy to open a PR if you want the patch.
