I am following the tutorial on how to install laravel with docker. So I ran the command

curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash

on my windows terminal CMD However nothing happens.

I ran WSL and installed ubuntu. Then I entered the ubuntu by typing ubuntu on my terminal.

Then I typed again the curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash, but I got the message "docker is not running"

Can anyone help?

I am running windows 10 and trying to install the latest version of laravel using Docker

Did you have docker installed (on your windows system) and have you enabled the WSL2 docker backend + enabled it in Ubuntu? See: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/wsl/

Reading the message I suspect that you missed one of the steps.
