Issue following quick setup guide

I’m following the quick setup guide and getting the following error on step 3:

ERROR: Missing mandatory value for "user" option interpolating ${USERID?}:${USERID?} in service "contracts-env": USERID

As per the guide, I have only cloned the repo and setup a blank .env file.

Mac OSX 12.1 (21C52) (M1)
Docker version 20.10.13, build a224086
docker-compose version 1.29.2, build 5becea4c

I would like to add that EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/.config' error means that you do not have root access.

Instead of running:

export USERID=$UID && docker-compose build && docker-compose exec contracts-env bash

Run the following to launch docker and get root access:

export USERID=$UID && docker-compose build && docker-compose exec -u 0 contracts-env bash

If you still get mkdir errors, you want to run the following command to give write access to the path that the error says you don’t have access to. You may need to mkdir the path also. (Run this in the docker container.)

chmod 0777 <path>

Let me know if there is a better way to do this.

The setup was changed a bit, for now you can use setup instructions from README
