Not able to start minikube cluster

[kapilmalik1983]

While I am trying to start cluster on WSL, I am getting docker error. I have verified on windows machine that docker ostype is set to Linux.
Under system tray on windows system, it says that docker desktop is running. What could I be missing?
Do I need to install docker on WSL too or do I need to install minikube on windows?

root@DESKTOP-HI3K193:~# minikube start --driver=docker --kubernetes-version=v1.20.2
😄 minikube v1.19.0 on Ubuntu 20.04
✨ Using the docker driver based on user configuration

🤷 Exiting due to PROVIDER_DOCKER_NOT_FOUND: The 'docker' provider was not found: exec: "docker": executable file not found in $PATH
💡 Suggestion: Install Docker
📘 Documentation: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/docker/

Docker for Desktop on Windows enables mounting the Docker daemon automatically in WSL2.

Make sure that you're running minikube on WSL2, after following this tutorial - https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/wsl/

Let me know if you still have issues

Thanks for the response. It worked after reinstalling Docker on windows.
After reading the article, I found that docker needs to be installed after WSL
