The (python pyramid) application which I want to test activates a docker run command.  
Therefore I want to pull a docker image and make the docker command available.

```
version: 2
jobs:
  build:
    working_directory: ~/my_application
    docker:
      - image: continuumio/miniconda3
      - image: docker:17.05.0-ce-git

    steps:
      - checkout
      - setup_remote_docker: # (2)
          docker_layer_caching: true # (3)
      - run:
          name: Pull Latex docker image
          command: |
              docker pull blang/latex

```

When I ssh into the circleci container, the docker command is not available.

```
/bin/bash: docker: command not found
```

Idk what is in the `continuumio/miniconda3` image but did you try installing Docker? You can’t use it unless you install it 🙂
