During the setup process for students I have found it valuable to have a "validation" step to ensure students have a working (or not-not working) installation. They may think that it is installed but is not actually working. This is especially true for Linux if the user does not have the docker group. I would recommend that setup.md include the following test.
$ docker version
and explain that the following output shows both the client and server are working.

I would be willing to make a PR if this is deemed useful.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
"...open a shell (terminal) window, and run the following command to check that Docker is installed and the command line tools are working correctly."
and then ask the students to run docker --version (which I guess could be replaced with docker version). I'd be inclined not to remove this from here but I certainly don't see any issue with adding something like this to the end of the setup instructions so that there is some verification of whether things seem to be working correctly straight after the install.
Feel free to go ahead and add a PR for this. Thanks.
