   3. Log out and log back in so that your group membership is re-evaluated.

      If testing on a virtual machine, it may be necessary to restart the virtual machine for changes to take effect.

      On a desktop Linux environment such as X Windows, log out of your session completely and then log back in.

      On Linux, you can also run the following command to activate the changes to groups:

      $ newgrp docker
