If you didn't install Docker for Mac you can link binaries instead of PATH update

brew link --force --overwrite docker-virtualbox

Otherwise configure the PATH variable

# For the bash
echo "export PATH=\"$(brew --prefix docker-virtualbox)/bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.bash_profile
# For the zsh
echo "export PATH=\"$(brew --prefix docker-virtualbox)/bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.zshrc
