How to Install Docker Compose on Amazon Server by Raj Gupta

On Linux systems, first install the Docker


[root@ip-172-31-84-176 ~]# sudo yum install docker

[root@ip-172-31-84-176 ~]# sudo service docker start

Run this command to download the current stable release of Docker Compose:

[root@ip-172-31-84-176 ~]# sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose



Apply executable permissions to the binary:


[root@ip-172-31-84-176 ~]# 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.


[root@ip-172-31-84-176 ~]# sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

Test the installation.

[root@ip-172-31-84-176 ~]# docker-compose --version

docker-compose version 1.24.0, build 0aa59064
