Hi,

In the future please fill out the issue template properly, as this is painful to read through.
You can obviously see that the file size for docker-compose is wrong here - there's no way an executable would be 9 bytes in length. This is probably due to the fact that you're on an unsupported OS or architecture, but since you neglected to provide that information, I can't say for sure.

[samuraii]

There is no info about if OS is supported or unsupported, so this is bug for sure.

[ailuropoda0]

If you open the '/usr/local/bin/docker-compose' file, it would be definitely 'Not Found'.(9 bytes)
Your kernel or machine may not be supported.

[raksshet]

use this should work.

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

[semmersultan]

thanks @raksshet its worked

[mlsmrc]

I have a same bug with the 1.24.0 version on Raspbian.

[samuelbacaner]

I also have the same problem with 1.24.1 on Raspian.

[Rampelflik]

Same issue on Rock64 ubuntu bionic....
The docker-compose file is located in /usr/local/bin but the file is empty.
Now what?

[mogranjm]

@mlsmrc

I have a same bug with the 1.24.0 version on Raspbian.

@samuelbacaner

I also have the same problem with 1.24.1 on Raspian.

Isn't Raspbian a 32 bit OS? The official docs state you can only run compose on 64 bit Linux.

So when you try to curl with $(uname -m) in the url path it won't populate with x86_64, so you're probably trying to access a release that doesn't exist.

[mogranjm]

@Rampelflik are you sure you're trying to access a real release? Check the output of $(uname -s)and $(uname -m) to make sure curl is trying to access the Linux-x86_64 release.

(If $(uname -m) outputs something other than x86_64, your OS is probably unsupported).

If that's working, check that the release you're trying to access actually exists here.

As @raksshet stated above, your curl call should look like this (or similar):
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

[aodr3w]

I figured out the problem , for me it was caused by the fact that was trying to download version 1.25.2-rc1 which is not available for some reason. SO i downgraded to 1.24.0 and it worked.

[ericslandry]

@AndrewOdiit you forgot the "v" introduced in tag "v1.25.2"

[lgrosz]

For those trying to install on Raspbian (ARM64) or another unsupported architecture, you can install docker-compose via pip.

[venkat44488]

I am trying to install docker-compose on redhat 7 of ppc64le(Power9 server) arch type still getting same error.
curl command gives below output , seems it has downloaded 9B.

[ADI10HERO]

I am facing the same error

Using
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Output of uname -s : Linux
Output of uname -m : i686

[mogranjm]

@ADI10HERO 32 bit architectures are not supported (you're using i686), you need to be running a 64 bit processor and OS (i.e. uname -m must return x86_64) to install docker-compose this way. You might want to try installing via pip as suggested above.

For those trying to install on Raspbian (ARM64) or another unsupported architecture, you can install docker-compose via pip.

See https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/1.26.2 for downloads available in the latest release (note there's no docker-compose-Linux-i686)

[rodrigoreis]

you all folks are downloading a "Not Found" string returned by a 404 http status code. Your target file for target architecture doesn't exist.

/usr/local/bin/docker-compose: line 1: Not: command not found

the Not above is realated to what I've explained.

did you guys tried to run nano /usr/local/bin/docker-compose ?

[specialistvlad]

Who trying to install docker compose on raspbian use this guide
https://withblue.ink/2020/06/24/docker-and-docker-compose-on-raspberry-pi-os.html

[stepri]

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3-pip libffi-dev
sudo pip3 install docker-compose

[stepthevir2]

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo pip uninstall docker-compose

then
sudo pip install docker-compose

then
docker-compose --version

This work for me

[intellent]

sudo pip3 install docker-compose worked for me on Raspberry Pi OS Lite.

[spandan12]

I got a similar problem. It was because the version I tried to install was not actually there. So before downloading the docker-compose, make sure the release version exists from the link below:
https://docs.docker.com/compose/release-notes/

[gandimohammad]

Type these commands in order

$ sudo apt install docker-compose
$ docker-compose version
$ sudo wget –O /usr/local/bin/docker-compose https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.0/docker-compose-Linux-x86_64
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ docker-compose --version
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ ./docker.sh install

[bellaj]

I ve got this error when trying to run docker-compose in travis. I solved the issue using :

sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

[hershkoy]

@Rampelflik are you sure you're trying to access a real release? Check the output of $(uname -s)and $(uname -m) to make sure curl is trying to access the Linux-x86_64 release.

(If $(uname -m) outputs something other than x86_64, your OS is probably unsupported).

@ADI10HERO answer is correct, but notice that there have been a change in the link on github, and now the version number should look like v2.1.1 (not 2.1.1, i.e. include the v in the link)
This is the link that worked for me:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.1.1/docker-compose-linux-x86_64" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

[sn3h]

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.1.1/docker-compose-linux-x86_64" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

love you, this works

[nikelborm]

I found that uname -s returns Linux with upper-case L, but the release binary on Github contains lower-case l inside its name.

nikel@nikel-PC:~/odm-payless/backend$ echo https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/2.1.1/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m`
https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/2.1.1/docker-compose-Linux-x86_64

[Mussabaheen]

if you are using macOS than first enter this command
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
to remove docker-compose installed through curl
than install it using
brew install docker-compose

[DonRichards]

To install or upgrade to the latest version every time for MAC (and will likely work for linux as well).

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep '\"tag_name\":' | sed -E 's/.*\"([^\"]+)\".*/\1/')/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

This will fetch the latest version number and use that to download the latest and install it.

[shaahrokh]

Introduced from version 1.25.2:
Preface a "v" before the version number you want in the link as below and the command executes successfully:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.2.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

[Histocompitability]

@raksshet - man, thank you so much, you literally saved my day!)

[tunna-7]

@raksshet Man, fr Thank You So Much!.....Been trying to solve that problem since 2 days😭💪

[StepanGavrilov]

curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.2.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Saved my life, thanks bro!

[ELMRABET-Abdelali]

this is working, thank you.

[Drewberrysteph]

Issue solve on mac m1 after running
docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started

You should have docker installed

[liuyuf]

To install or upgrade to the latest version every time for MAC (and will likely work for linux as well).

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep '\"tag_name\":' | sed -E 's/.*\"([^\"]+)\".*/\1/')/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

This will fetch the latest version number and use that to download the latest and install it.

That helped me

[jd-apprentice]

use this should work.

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

Thank you so much! this worked for me <3

[Abdurahman-hassan]

you should follow this link in order to solve your issue:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.11.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

you forget the v before the version thank you @AndrewOdiit also and when you inquire on version you should write: docker-compose version

[DutchKevv]

@Abdurahman-hassan

Its silly, but yeah... I also forgot the 'v' in front of the version number

Old tutorials (< v2) don't use the 'v' in the URL, so easy to overlook.

Thanks

[Imomov]

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.11.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

[emaguero]

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose sudo pip uninstall docker-compose

then sudo pip install docker-compose

then docker-compose --version

This work for me

Hi, only for said that this task works...
emi@nbdebian11:/usr/local/bin$
emi@nbdebian11:/usr/local/bin$ sudo docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.29.2, build unknown

I don't know build unknown mean.
regards

[hohodsj]

I had the same issue when I try to setup on the Oracle-Linux-8.6-aarch64-2022.12.15-0 image. You can get more information here https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-docker-compose
And here's what I did
sudo curl -L --fail https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-docker-compose/master/run.sh -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

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

ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

[bantustic]

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep '\"tag_name\":' | sed -E 's/.*\"([^\"]+)\".*/\1/')/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

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

DonRichard's solution as seen above here and further above on the page is the best solution here. Have only added the line for docker-compose to be executable. You get an uptodate version of docker-compose, and it also solves the issue:
/usr/local/bin/docker-compose: line 1: Not: command not found

Using linux but like he said its most likely to work on a Mac.

[marquitobb]

this is working on my raspberry with command: sudo pip3 install docker-compose==1.28.6

[TuanMinPay]

thanks, worked for me

[leesonaa]

• get the file from "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases"
• then copy docker-compose-xxx-xxx to /usr/local/bin and renamed it to docker-compose and "chmod +x docker-compose"
• try command "docker-compose -v "
  well , it worked .
