Got the terminal to the right directory and found the right command line then it did a bunch of stuff and now photoprism is installed and accessible in Docker along with a database for it, thank you so much Oragangpeloopa friend!
whoops, sorry turns out docker cant run on my laptop (needs WSL update and i only got very limited internet). so would need to wait until i come back from out of town to test around.
EDIT
lol turns out digi already solved it! congrats!
