Issue with running 'supabase start'

Hey there!

I seem to be having trouble with running the supabase cli's "supabase start" command.
"Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?"

Which is strange because I have no issue running "docker ps" and any other docker containers, and docker desktop is definitely running. I've also tried running the supabase cli with sudo, same issue.
I am using macOS with an M1 Pro, and using Supabase CLI 1.10.2, docker 20.10.20, and node 18.

Any help would be appreciated 🙂
