On this page you can find instructions on how to install the Compose plugin on Linux from the command line.
To install the Compose plugin on Linux, you can either:
- [Set up Docker's repository on your Linux system](#install-using-the-repository).
- [Install Compose manually](#install-the-plugin-manually).
> **Note**
>
> These instructions assume you already have Docker Engine and Docker CLI installed and now want to install the Compose plugin.
For Compose standalone, see [Install Compose Standalone](standalone.md).
## Install using the repository
1. Set up the repository. Find distro-specific instructions in:
[Ubuntu](../../engine/install/ubuntu.md/#set-up-the-repository) |
[CentOS](../../engine/install/centos.md/#set-up-the-repository) |
[Debian](../../engine/install/debian.md/#set-up-the-repository) |
[Fedora](../../engine/install/fedora.md/#set-up-the-repository) |
[RHEL](../../engine/install/rhel.md/#set-up-the-repository) |
[SLES](../../engine/install/sles.md/#set-up-the-repository).
2. Update the package index, and install the latest version of Docker Compose:
* For Ubuntu and Debian, run:
```console
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin
```
* For RPM-based distros, run:
```console
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install docker-compose-plugin
```
3. Verify that Docker Compose is installed correctly by checking the version.
```console
$ docker compose version
Docker Compose version vN.N.N
```
Where `vN.N.N` is placeholder text standing in for the latest version.
### Update Compose
To update the Compose plugin, run the following commands:
* For Ubuntu and Debian, run:
```console
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin
```
* For RPM-based distros, run:
```console
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install docker-compose-plugin
```
## Install the plugin manually
> **Note**
>
> This option requires you to manage upgrades manually. We recommend setting up Docker's repository for easier maintenance.
1. To download and install the Compose CLI plugin, run:
```console
$ DOCKER_CONFIG=${DOCKER_CONFIG:-$HOME/.docker}
$ mkdir -p $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins
$ curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/{{site.compose_version}}/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
```
This command downloads the latest release of Docker Compose (from the Compose releases repository) and installs Compose for the active user under `$HOME` directory.
To install:
* Docker Compose for _all users_ on your system, replace `~/.docker/cli-plugins` with `/usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins`.
* A different version of Compose, substitute `{{site.compose_version}}` with the version of Compose you want to use.
- For a different architecture, substitute `x86_64` with the [architecture you want](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases).
2. Apply executable permissions to the binary:
```console
$ chmod +x $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
```
or, if you chose to install Compose for all users:
```console
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
```
3. Test the installation.
```console
$ docker compose version
Docker Compose version {{site.compose_version}}
```
