title: How to run "docker-machine create" in OS X?
body: <p>I started Docker and am now following the tutorial, but for all I know I couldn't run the <code>docker-machine</code> command on OS X.</p>
  <p><a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/getstarted-voting-app/node-setup/" rel="noreferrer">The documentation states</a> that you run the following command to create a local virtual machine:</p>
  <pre><code>docker-machine create --driver virtualbox manager
  </code></pre>
  <p>However, this command doesn't work in OS X (11.6), with the following error:</p>
  <pre><code>Running pre-create checks...
  Error with pre-create check: &quot;VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I tried to install the virtualbox; however, <a href="https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#/what-to-know-before-you-install" rel="noreferrer">another page clearly states</a> that you must not install it on your local machine:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>VirtualBox prior to version 4.3.30 must NOT be installed (it is incompatible with Docker for Mac)</p>
  <p>Note: If your system does not satisfy these requirements, you can install Docker Toolbox, which uses Oracle VirtualBox instead of HyperKit.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>So I only installed <em>Docker for Mac</em> and not virtualbox. So what am I missing here? <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/getstarted-voting-app/#/got-docker" rel="noreferrer">The example page</a> says you can run the tutorial on OS X, so I wonder how I can proceed...</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>You can follow along and run this example using Docker for Mac, Docker for Windows or Docker for Linux.</p>
