Need help running Wasp app

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some help with running my app locally.

I created a trial app using https://usemage.ai/ but after following the instructions to install and get the app running I am getting the following error(s):

--- [Error] Can not connect to database: --------------------------------------- The database needs to be running in order to execute this command. You can easily start a managed dev database with wasp start db.

When I ran "wasp start db", I got another error

--- [Error] Couldn't find docker executable: --------------------------------- To run PostgreSQL dev database, Wasp needs docker installed and in PATH.
From what I understand, Wasp needs Docker with Postgresql to run. Can someone guide me to how to do it exactly in reference to Wasp.

Also, I feel this part is not clearly documented in the Wasp Documentation.

Looking forward to your answers guys!
