Docker Installation Error on Windows behind Firewall

Question

I\'m trying to install Docker on a Windows computer but I get this message:

Running pre-create checks...
(default) No default Boot2Docker

You may behind a firewall. If so, you will need to configure an http proxy.

According to https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker-cli/issues/230 you can do this one of a couple of ways:

(1) Edit start.sh and add the following before boot2docker.exe is called

export HTTP_PROXY=
export HTTPS_PROXY=

(2) Add HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY (and their values) to your System Variables or User Variables in your Windows config.

The proxy value should be of the form http://hostname:port
