Additional installation steps on Linux#

Docker behaves differently depending on your OS. In Linux, many docker commands require additional privileges that can be granted by adding sudo in front of the command. Beobench relies on docker for most of its functionality. Therefore, there are two options to get beobench to work on a Linux system:

  1. Always use sudo in front of beobench commands to grant the relevant privileges required for docker (note that this has not been tested)

  2. Recommended: follow the official post-installation steps to manage docker as a non-root user to enable running docker without sudo. As the linked documentation points out, this carries a certain security risk.
