Dupe of #119.

Detected symptom of problem 'symlinks-are-not-correctly-installed' in 2AB6D264-9BEE-438D-9147-56B1C94C46A6/20160903-113557.

Thanks for your report! The docker symlinks have not been correctly installed by the installer, which is a known issue that we are currently working on. A possible workaround is to install the docker client manually by running:

ln -s ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker/bin/docker /usr/local/bin/docker

May be related to #785
