I'm sorry you got stuck setting up docker on your local machine. We have put a lot of work into making sure local clusters "just work". It would be a big help if you could start a thread on the forum so we can help identify the issue.

The reason we are using docker to run Prisma locally is that we believe it is super important to have the same environment locally when you develop as when you run in production.

If you are familiar with docker you can follow the guide in the docs to set it all up without relying on the CLI. That should give you a little more transparency into what is going on :-)
