On this page you can find a summary of the available options for installing Docker Compose.
|
|
|
|
## Compose prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* Docker Compose requires Docker Engine.
|
|
* Docker Compose plugin requires Docker CLI.
|
|
|
|
## Compose installation scenarios
|
|
You can run Compose on macOS, Windows, and 64-bit Linux. Check what installation scenario fits your needs.
|
|
|
|
Are you looking to:
|
|
|
|
* __Get latest Docker Compose and its prerequisites__:
|
|
[Install Docker Desktop for your platform](./compose-desktop.md). This is the fastest route and you get Docker Engine and Docker CLI with the Compose plugin. Docker Desktop is available for Mac, Windows and Linux.
|
|
|
|
* __Install Compose plugin:__
|
|
+ __(Mac, Win, Linux) Docker Desktop__: If you have Desktop installed then you already have the Compose plugin installed.
|
|
+ __Linux systems__: To install the Docker CLI's Compose plugins use one of these methods of installation:
|
|
+ Using the [convenience scripts](../../engine/install/#server){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"} offered per Linux distro from the Engine install section.
|
|
+ [Setting up Docker's repository](compose-plugin#install-using-the-repository) and using it to install the compose plugin package.
|
|
+ Other scenarios, check the [Linux install](compose-plugin#installing-compose-on-linux-systems).
|
|
+ __Windows Server__: If you want to run the Docker daemon and client directly on Microsoft Windows Server, follow the [Windows Server install instructions](compose-plugin#install-compose-on-windows-server).
