Buildx: 'buildx' is not a docker command on Windows 10

[smurfpandey]

I am trying to build multi-arch images following this article: https://engineering.docker.com/2019/04/multi-arch-images/,
Updated the docker desktop to edge release. But docker buildx ls command is not working. It's throwing error:

docker: 'buildx' is not a docker command.
See 'docker --help'

I am on docker desktop for windows.
Docker Desktop version: 2.0.5.0 (35318)
Engine: 19.03.0-rc2

OS: Windows 10 Pro, Version 1803

I believe you need to set experimental: enabled in the CLI conf since rc2 (or get the release build from this repo that doesn't need it). @tiborvass

I'm working through the same article on Docker Desktop for Mac and had to export the following environment variable to get it to work:

export DOCKER_CLI_EXPERIMENTAL=enabled

As stated in the release notes for Docker Desktop for Mac and Docker Desktop for Windows:

• Docker Desktop includes the buildx plugin (currently experimental).
• Selecting the Experimental features checkbox on the Docker Desktop Preferences Daemon page enables experimental features in the Docker daemon and the Docker CLI.

I created config.json file with below content in .docker folder in user directory & it worked.

{ "experimental":"enabled" }
