Laravel Sail on Ubuntu

Hey, guys.

I'm trying to install the Laravel project with Sail following the documentation guide.

After running curl command (the one provided in laravel documentations) the terminal tells me that the docker is not running. I'm checking from docker desktop and terminal the status of docker and according to it, docker is actually running.

I installed Docker and Docker desktop step by step using the official installation guide.

If you know anything about it I would appreciate help.

My ubuntu version: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Release: 24.04 Codename: noble

Still can't figure out the exact reason, but if you don't run curl -s [link-here]/[app-name] | sudo bash command with sudo before bash, the system doesn't recognize that Docker is running.
