In your Jenkins interface go to "Manage Jenkins/Global Tool Configuration"

Then scroll down to Docker Installations and click "Add Docker". Give it a name like "myDocker"

Make sure to check the box which says "Install automatically". Click "Add Installer" and select "Download from docker.com". Leave "latest" in the Docker version. Make sure you click Save.

In your Jenkinsfile add the following stage before you run any docker commands:

 stage('Initialize'){
        def dockerHome = tool 'myDocker'
        env.PATH = "${dockerHome}/bin:${env.PATH}"
    }
