docker-compose is currently a tool that utilizes docker(-engine) but is not included in the distribution of docker.

Here is the link to the installation manual: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

TL;DR:

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.8.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose

(1.8.0 will change in the future)

first of all please check if docker-compose is installed      docker-compose -v   If it is not installed  please refer to the installation guide https   docs docker com compose install  If installed give executable permission to the binary     chmod  x  usr local bin docker-compose   check if this works

Refered to the answers given above  I do not have enough reputation to refer separately to individual solutions  hence I do this collectively in this place   I want to supplement them with some important suggestions    docker-compose you can install from the repository  if you have this package in the repository  if not you can adding to system a repository with this package  or download binary with use curl - totourial on the official website of the project - src  https   docs docker com compose install   docker-compose from the repository is in version 1 8 0  at least at me   This docker-compose version does not support configuration files in version 3  It only has version    lt 2 support  Inthe official site of the project is a recommendation to use container configuration in version 3 - src  https   docs docker com compose compose-file   compose-versioning    From my own experience with work in the docker I recommend using container configurations in version 3 - there are more configuration options to use than in versions  lt 3  If you want to use the configurations configurations in version 3 you have to do update   install docker-compose to the version of at least 1 17 - preferably the latest stable  The official site of the project is toturial how to do this process - src  https   docs docker com compose install  when you try to manually remove the old docker-compose binaries  you can have information about the missing file in the default path  usr local bin docker-compose  At my case  docker-compose was in the default path  usr bin docker-compose  In this case  I suggest you use the find tool in your system to find binary file docker-compose - example syntax  sudo find   -name  docker-compose   It helped me  Thanks to this  I removed the old docker-compose version and added the stable to the system - I use the curl tool to download binary file docker-compose  putting it in the right path and giving it the right permissions - all this process has been described in the posts above    Regards  Adam

If you installed docker by adding their official repository to your repository list  like    curl -fsSL https   download docker com linux ubuntu gpg   sudo apt-key add -   sudo add-apt-repository       quot deb  arch amd64  https   download docker com linux ubuntu        lsb release -cs       stable quot   Just do    sudo apt-get install docker-compose  In case on RHEL based distro   Fedora    sudo dnf install docker-compose

On Linux  you can download the Docker Compose binary from the Compose repository release page on GitHub  Follow the instructions from the link  which involve running the curl command in your terminal to download the binaries  These step-by-step instructions are also included below  1 Run this command to download the current stable release of Docker Compose  sudo curl -L  quot https   github com docker compose releases download 1 26 2 docker-compose-  uname -s -  uname -m  quot  -o  usr local bin docker-compose  To install a different version of Compose  substitute 1 26 2 with the version of Compose you want to use  2 Apply executable permissions to the binary  sudo chmod  x  usr local bin docker-compose   Note  If the command docker-compose fails after installation  check your path  You can also create a symbolic link to  usr bin or any other directory in your path

I suggest using the official pkg on Mac   I guess docker-compose is no longer included with docker by default   https   docs docker com toolbox toolbox install mac

I m installing on a Raspberry Pi 3  with Raspbian 8  The curl method failed for me  got a line 1  Not  command not found error upon asking for docker-compose --version  and the solution of  sunapi386 seemed a little out-dated  so I tried this which worked   First clean things up from previous efforts   sudo rm  usr local bin docker-compose sudo pip uninstall docker-compose   Then follow this guidance re docker-compose on Rpi   sudo apt-get -y install python-pip sudo pip install docker-compose   For me  on 1 Nov 2017  this results in the following response to docker-compose --version   docker-compose version 1 16 1  build 6d1ac219
