I installed docker and had it running. I ran the appwrite install commands from the official appwrite website. I got this error towards the end of the process.
Failed to save Docker Compose file
Did you run the command as super user or with su?
I ran the command in powershell as admin
Interesting. Can you try to run the command again in different folder?
I can also see the image in docker but they are so many vulnerabilities.
ok
same error on a different PowerShell folder.
