Docker: unrecognized service

Explanation:

When you receive the error “docker: unrecognized service”, it means that Docker is not installed or not recognized as a service on your system.

The “docker” command is used to interact with Docker, but in order to use it as a service, Docker needs to be installed and running.

Here are some possible reasons for this error:

1. Docker is not installed: Make sure you have installed Docker on your system. You can download and install Docker from the official website: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop.
2. Docker service is not running: Check if Docker service is running by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt: sudo service docker status (for Linux) or sc query docker (for Windows). If the service is not running, start it using the appropriate command for your operating system.
3. Incorrect Docker command: Double-check the command you are trying to run. Make sure it is the correct syntax and uses the “docker” command correctly. For example, if you are trying to run a container, the command should be something like: docker run <image_name>.

After addressing the above possibilities, you should be able to resolve the “docker: unrecognized service” error and use Docker successfully on your system.
