I am trying to install the quant rocket on Mac for many times. When I am executing the docker-compose, the Terminal just blocks like this

And the last time when I tried to install, it looked like this.

It looks like Docker is hanging while pulling images, before the containers even start. That usually points to a Docker or network issue rather than QuantRocket itself. To narrow it down, please try these two quick checks.

First, pull a tiny public image:

docker pull hello-world

If this hangs, the problem is general Docker or network connectivity.

If that works, try a single QuantRocket image:

docker pull quantrocket/houston:2.11.0

If that works, try pulling all the images:

docker compose -p quantrocket up -d

This should help identify whether the issue is with Docker/your network in general, or something specific to pulling QuantRocket images.

Thank you for reply. The first two step worked well. But I was executing the decker compose, it displayed this situation.

Plus, I also tried to install it on my Windows PC, but it showed this situation. Do I need more patience more it or there is just something wrong?

The error message on your Mac could be caused by lack of disk space. How much space have you allocated in Docker Desktop → Settings → Resources? You might need to increase it, or if you've used Docker before, you may need to delete some old images to free up space.

That may be a reason. I got 110 GB left on my MacBook. How much space will it need ?
