I think Macs (i think in particular we had this on M1/M2 chips?) have some problems yeah

Open new terminal (not docker shell), inside the folder ‘Opensearch-Dashboards’, configure environment variables for OpenSearch Dashboards:

```auto
export SERVER_HOST="localhost"
export OPENSEARCH_HOSTS="http://localhost:9200"

```

Start the OpenSearch Dashboards development server using the start:docker command:

```auto
yarn start:docker

```

After following the previous instructions, OpenSearch Dashboards should be running on `http://127.0.0.1:5603/fux`. To access the OpenSearch Dashboards web interface, use the URL `http://127.0.0.1:5603/fux` in your browser instead of `localhost:5603/fux`. Changing the URL to use `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` can help avoid potential issues.

Let me know if this fixed the issue

Those troubleshoot steps should be eventually merged to docker setup manual(even if they’re formatted a bit differently), I believe the PR for that is ongoing

@zloiadil01 did you successfully install yarn? If so are you still seeing the same error? You can verify that you have yarn installed using the command `yarn --version` in the project root. Also OSD isnt officially supported on MacOS so using the [docker setup guide](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/blob/main/docs/docker-dev/docker-dev-setup-manual.md) would be the way to go for MacOS right now.
