Description
I'm trying to install scout on my fedora box and I'm getting this error, it seems that is because I don't have the $DOCKER_HOME environment variable set, but I couldn't find any documentation on that, I'm good setting that env var to ~/.local/share/docker or ~/.docker ? the error message is a bit confusing since I have docker installed
~$ sh install-scout.sh
\033[0;31m\033[1m[error]\033[0m docker is not installed; refusing to install to '/home/samuel/.docker/cli-plugins' \033[0m
