Also the window opens where I can see two utilities:

When I click Docker Quick Terminal I can type:

But when I type:

I get the error.

Check if vbox is running; if not, start it (replace default with your vbox name):

$ docker-machine start default

And then do as Kevin above replied:

eval "$(docker-machine env default)"

Just ran into the same thing. I did have a virtual machine running but was still getting that error when I tried to use the command line. When I ran docker-machine env default to see the state of my docker VM named default I was prompted to run a command, eval "$(docker-machine env default)" to initialize my shell. That step got everything working for me.

The details, as it turns out, are at the top of the README for docker/machine on github.

Docker just changed the way you install on Mac OS X and Windows. Now you install a Toolbox. They also changed the name of boot2docker to docker-machine

Note: This release of Docker deprecates the Boot2Docker command line
in favor of Docker Machine. Use the Docker Toolbox to install Docker
Machine as well as the other Docker tools.

So remove any installation for boot2docker of you are installing from the Toolbox. Before you install make sure you stop any VirtualBox completely on your Mac OS X machine.

You can also remove the installation of VirtualBox if you have it and let the Docker Toolbox install it for you

Before you can run any container with 

docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

you need to have your docker-machine running. Do a 

ps -Af | grep VBox

and see if your Virtual Machine for docker-machine is running. You should see something like

VBoxHeadless docker-machine ...

Hope this helps.
