Docker Compose installation involves several steps:
1. Firstly, ensure you have Docker installed in your system. You can check by entering `docker —version` in the terminal/command prompt. If Docker is not installed, you should install it first.
1. Run this command in your terminal/cmd to download the current stable release of Docker Compose: For Linux: \`\`\` sudo curl -L “https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)” -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose \`\`\`
For Windows (using Git Bash): \`\`\` curl -L “https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-Windows-x86\_64.exe” -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose \`\`\` NOTE: Replace `1.29.2` with the version you want to install.1. Apply executable permissions to the binary: \`\`\` sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose \`\`\`
1. Test the installation by running: \`\`\` docker-compose —version \`\`\`
1. If the command `docker-compose —version` isn’t working, try to create a symbolic link: \`\`\` sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose \`\`\`
This will successfully install Docker Compose on your system. Also, note that Docker Compose is included by default with Docker Desktop on Mac and Windows, so if you have Docker Desktop installed in your system, it is likely that Docker Compose is already installed.
