Laravel sail command not responded.

I was trying to create a Laravel 8 application using the sail command. but when I run the command curl -s "https://laravel.build/example-app" | bash getting following error

docker: invalid reference format: repository name must be lowercase.
See 'docker run --help'.
bash: line 16: cd: example-app: No such file or directory

Get started with: cd example-app && ./vendor/bin/sail up

and project not create (folder not exist). What's the Issue?

Local environment

OS : MacOs 11.2

Docker : 3.3

PHP : 7.3

** curl and other required tools are installed. docker working fine.

Docker version 3.3 doesn't make sense, the current version is something like 20.10.5. Do you have a super old docker installed?

i'm using Windows, the command just work fine for me... I'm guessing that will it be the permission issue to create the folder in the certain directory in Mac???

Not a permission issue. I'll try with the sudo and the issue is same. create an app with composer working fine.
