+If you have installed Weave Net via `docker plugin install`, then you
+will need to download the `weave` script to run `weave status`, `weave ps`
+or `weave report` as above.  Do this as described in the
+[install instructions](/site/install/installing-weave.md).
+
+Docker "v2" plugins run as containers, but at a lower level within the
+Docker environment, so you cannot view them with `docker ps`, `docker
+inspect`, etc.
+
+Do not run `weave launch`, `weave stop` or similar commands when using
+this plugin; use the `docker plugin` commands instead.  You can run
+`weave reset`, but only after disabling the plugin via `docker plugin disable`.
+
+Diagnostic logs from the plugin will go to the same place as the
+Docker daemon, which will depend on your Linux install. For example,
+if it uses `systemd`, then do this to view the Docker and plugin logs:
+
+    sudo journalctl -u docker
