      Following the documentation on Debian gets me to the ./develop.sh build stage, which errors out:

      ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localhost - is it running?

      Turns out that access to the docker daemon requires the user to be a member of the docker group, so the following two additional steps are required as part of the prerequisites setup:

      1. Add the developer user to the docker group: sudo groupadd DEVELOPER docker, where DEVELOPER is the user id to be used for development
      2. Perform a fresh login as the developer user, to make the group assignment active in that shell
