Answer 1

you may try:

docker-machine create -d virtualbox default

UPDATE 2016/10/19

The old answer may only work on mac with virtualbox installed.

If you are running docker-machine on windows, you should use Hyper-V :

docker-machine create --driver hyperv vm

see detail here:https://docs.docker.com/machine/drivers/hyper-v/

And if you are using Docker Machine to provision hosts on cloud providers, you may need other driver such as amazonec2 . More detail:https://docs.docker.com/machine/get-started-cloud/
