I want to install Kobotoolbox on my Ubuntu version 20.04 and using python 3.8.4. I have followed all the necessary steps of installation . but in the end i am getting this kind of error. I have tried installing docker but getting error too. I also have tried copying kobo-docker directory inside kobo-install. Unknown shorthand flag f in -f. No such file or directory ‘Docker’.
Welcome back to the community, @asif! Pinging @stephenoduor and @ks_1 for your support.

Hi @asif from the last line in the logs it appears Python is trying to run the docker command, but it cannot find the Docker executable. This means Docker is not installed in your system or is not correctly installed.
Can you try to Install Docker
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io -y
and then after you install it
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
And finally just check if docker is working with docker --version and then try running the commands again to install.
Sharing the docs here Ubuntu | Docker Docs for reference.

Thank you, @surveyorjr . Now I am getting this error.
unknown shorthand flag: ‘f’ in -f
See ‘docker --help’.

An error has occurred
Docker does not support -f on our system, nor does docker-compose exist which does support the flags detailed here:
Solution is apt install docker-compose and change your command to use docker-compose.
Do not install Docker.io instead,
Install Docker-compose
sudo apt install docker-compose
In Utils.py,
Change
return [ ‘docker’, ‘compose’] + command
to
return [ ‘docker-compose’] + command
