Docker Desktop wants to create symlinks for docker binaries in /usr/local/bin;
add startup task to symlink /Users/code2care/.docker/run/docker.sock to
/var/run/docker.sock.
If rejected, Docker Desktop will create symlinks in ~/.docker/bin
and edit your shell profile to ensure it's on your PATH
Please reload any open shells for the changes to take place.
Touch ID or enter your password to allow this.
After recently updating Docker Desktop Application on macOS, I received the above message after installation.
By clicking on User Password... and providing my macOS password Docker created symbolic links under /usr/local/bin and added a startup task to symlink /Users/my-user/.docker/run/docker.sock to /var/run/docker.sock.
