Unable to pull crabs image from docker #59

Closed eneave closed 1 month ago

eneave commented 6 months ago

Hi, I've installed docker desktop and had it open while running the "docker pull quay.io/swordfish/crabs:0.1.4" line of code in my terminal and I got these errors and also indication that I needed to install docker/it didn't seem to recognize the command docker: "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?".

I've never used docker desktop before but I'm unsure what I am missing here. I thought it just needed to be installed locally. Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you, Erika

Hello @eneave,

Thank you for your question. @hughcross, could you please have a look at this Docker installation issue?

Best wishes, Gert-Jan

Hi @eneave, This sounds like a Docker issue and not having anything to do with crabs. Pulling an image with the docker pull command is the most basic, so should be working for any image. What operating system are you using? When I search with those errors I mostly get answers for Ubuntu, so it seems you have Linux, but let us know and we can try to help. I did find this answer for Linux:

If this is a university or job computer you may need to talk to your IT to get root permissions.

Keep us posted
