Toolbox 1.8.1c fails to install in Mac OSX 10.10.5

[datmark]

I am having issues trying to get install Toolbox 1.8.1c.

I get this summary at the end of the installation:

.. and when I run it on the command line

installer: Package name is Docker Toolbox
installer: Upgrading at base path /
installer: The upgrade failed (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)

and I get this when running the Docker Terminal...

open /Users/user/.docker/machine/machines/default/config.json: permission denied

and running the script found in:

/Applications/Docker/Docker Quickstart Terminal.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts

... completes but i get:

I am not sure what else I could do... please help!

sudo docker info 

should produce better results ;)

looks like docker is installed as root, which means all containers are running as root (after it's installed) now that i realize that, it concerns me a little. i changed the directory of ~./docker to my user and the installer changed it back to root. see #140.

[v1k0d3n]

try the work-around in #140 and let me know if it works for you (until docker updates or provides more information on the installer).

Unfortunately, the workaround you provided in #140 did not work for my situation, which is weird...

$ docker-machine create -d virtualbox default

You will want to check the provider to make sure the machine and associated resources were properly removed.

The result above is the same in a downloaded or a brew-installed docker-machine (both v0.4.1) but...

and

I hope these helps someone...

After so many installs/uninstalls/deleting folders I was finally able to successfully install docker (and the toolbox).

How I got it to work this time...

1. Deleted anything in the system that mentions docker.
2. Installed toolbox 1.8.1c.
3. Ran the Docker Quickstart Terminal (which failed).
4. Deleted ~/.docker
5. Installed docker using

$ docker-machine create -d virtualbox default

I am not sure how it started working again...
