I have in Vbox ubuntu-server vm-minimal instalation.

```
apt-get install -y curl && curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ubuntu/ | sudo sh

```

Client API version: 1.17
Go version (client): go1.4.1
Git commit (client): a8a31ef
OS/Arch (client): linux/amd64
FATA[0000] Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is 'docker -d' running on this host? 

```

docker info

```

```

docker ps

```

```

I made run and fast checking:

```
root@ubuntu1:~# service docker status
docker stop/waiting
root@ubuntu1:~# service docker start
docker start/running, process 2913
root@ubuntu1:~# service docker status
docker start/running, process 3156
root@ubuntu1:~# service docker status
docker start/pre-start, process 3311
root@ubuntu1:~# service docker status
docker start/running, process 3455
root@ubuntu1:~# service docker status
docker stop/waiting

```

How to fix it?

Hmm, from the guide

```
wget -qO- https://get.docker.io/ | sh

```

Presumably that’s not different from your first command but I’d say give it a try. Docker is not installing on your machine.

- Is it Ubuntu 14.04?
- Is it x64?
