* The second line configures the Weave Net environment, so that containers launched via the Docker command line are automatically attached to the Weave network, and,
* The third line runs the [application container](/site/faq.md#own-image) using [a Docker command](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/).

If the first command results in an error like

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?

or

http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.19/containers/create: dial unix/var/run/docker.sock: permission denied. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?

then you likely need to be 'root' in order to connect to the Docker
daemon. If so, run the above and all subsequent commands in a
*single* root shell:

host1$ sudo -s
host1# weave launch
host1# eval $(weave env)
host1# docker run --name a1 -ti weaveworks/ubuntu

Do *not* prefix individual commands with `sudo`, since some commands
modify environment entries and hence they all need to be executed from
the same shell.
