gen types - 'error during connection'

Trying to follow this video by supabase for generating typescript types for my database (https://youtu.be/7CqlTU9aOR4). but currently getting an error of:
Connecting to postgresql://postgres:[rest of uri]
Error: error during connect: This error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running.: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/images/public.ecr.aws/supabase/postgres-meta:v0.54.1/json": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.

- installing supabase as a global dependency
- Restarting project
- using
--debug
--debug
but it gave me the same output
