Detected symptom of problem 'symlinks-are-not-correctly-installed' in F637D9FB-3F4F-46B5-B1E5-FEACF0C16CE0/20161011-232145.

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
