Installing Docker Compose in Ubuntu

This is a special tool that is needed to run and use many containerized applications. When using Compose, a single YAML file named docker-compose.yml is created, in which the necessary applications to be run are defined. It is managed by a single command. The tool is included with the application, but by default it is not installed with it and must be installed separately.

Installation on the example of Ubuntu 20.04

Before installing the tool, make sure that Docker is installed in the system. Without it, you will not be able to launch the application in question. Also check that the curl utility is installed in the system and if it is not installed, install it using the command:

$ sudo apt -y install curl

To install the program, you need to download the latest version using the command:

$ 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

To install the program, you need to download the latest version using the command:

$ sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1

The file will be downloaded to the /usr/local/bin directory. Next, you should make the downloaded file executable using the command:

$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

After installation, you should check that it runs correctly. To do this, enter the following command:

If the command output shows help, it means that the installation of the program was successful and the program is ready to work. In this short tutorial we have looked at installing an important and useful tool in Ubuntu 20.04 that allows you to run and manage multiple containers at once.
