I have installed docker-compose using the command
sudo apt install docker-compose
It installed docker-compose version 1.8.0 and build unknown
I need the latest version of docker-compose or at least a version of 1.9.0
Can anyone please let me know what approach I should take to upgrade it or uninstall and re-install the latest version.
I have checked the docker website and can see that they are recommending this to install the latest version'
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
But before that, I have to uninstall the present version, which can be done using the command
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
but this can be used only when the installation was done using curl. I am not sure if the installation was done by curl as I have used
sudo apt install docker-compose
Please let me know what should I do now to uninstall and re-install the docker-compose.
First, remove the old version:
If installed via apt-get
sudo apt-get remove docker-compose
If installed via curl
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
If installed via pip
pip uninstall docker-compose
Then find the newest version on the release page at GitHub or by curling the API and extracting the version from the response using grep or jq (thanks to dragon788, frbl, and Saber Hayati for these improvements):
# curl + grep
VERSION=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep -Po '"tag_name": "\K.*\d')
# curl + jq
VERSION=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | jq .name -r)
Finally, download to your favorite $PATH-accessible location and set permissions:
DESTINATION=/usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/${VERSION}/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o $DESTINATION
sudo chmod 755 $DESTINATION
The easiest way to have a permanent and sustainable solution for the Docker Compose installation and the way to upgrade it, is to just use the package manager pip with:
pip install docker-compose
I was searching for a good solution for the ugly "how to upgrade to the latest version number"-problem, which appeared after you´ve read the official docs - and just found it occasionally - just have a look at the docker-compose pip package - it should reflect (mostly) the current number of the latest released Docker Compose version.
A package manager is always the best solution if it comes to managing software installations! So you just abstract from handling the versions on your own.
If you tried sudo apt-get remove docker-compose and get E: Unable to locate package docker-compose, try this method :
This command must return a result, in order to check it is installed here :
ls -l /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Remove the old version :
sudo rm -rf docker-compose
Download the last version (check official repo : docker/compose/releases) :
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
(replace 1.24.0 if needed)
Finally, apply executable permissions to the binary:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Check version :
docker-compose -v
If the above methods aren't working for you, then refer to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40554985
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" > ./docker-compose
sudo mv ./docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose
Based on #eric-johnson's answer, I'm currently using this in a script:
#!/bin/bash
compose_version=$(curl https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | jq .name -r)
output='/usr/local/bin/docker-compose'
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$compose_version/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o $output
chmod +x $output
echo $(docker-compose --version)
it grabs the latest version from the GitHub api.
Here is another oneliner to install the latest version of docker-compose using curl and sed.
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/`curl -fsSLI -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest | sed 's#.*tag/##g' && echo`/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Do it in three steps. (showing for apt-get installs)
Uninstall the last one. e.g. for apt-get installs
sudo apt-get remove docker-compose
Install the new one (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
and then
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Check your version
docker-compose --version
Simple Solution to update docker-compose
This will remove the existing binary of docker-compose and install a new version.
sudo cd /usr/local/bin && sudo rm -rf docker-compose
sudo sudo curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.2.3/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x docker-compose
for the latest version visit https://github.com/docker/compose/releases and replace the latest one with v2.1.1
I was trying to install docker-compose on "Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS" but after installing it like this:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
I was getting:
-bash: /usr/local/bin/docker-compose: Permission denied
and while I was using it with sudo I was getting:
sudo: docker-compose: command not found
So here's the steps that I took and solved my problem:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose
use this from command line: sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Write down the latest release version
Apply executable permissions to the binary:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Then test version:
$ docker-compose --version
If you installed with pip, to upgrade you can just use:
pip install --upgrade docker-compose
or as Mariyo states with pip3 explicitly:
pip3 install --upgrade docker-compose
Using latest flag in url will redirect you to the latest release of the repo
As OS name is lower case in github's filename, you should convert uname -s to lower case using sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/'.
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s|sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/')-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
On mac (also working on ubuntu):
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/<release-version>/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
NOTE: write the as here:
https://github.com/docker/compose/releases
Use,
$ 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 && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ docker-compose -v
Docker Engine and Docker Compose Plugin
Since Microsoft took over Docker they worked on porting docker-compose to their Docker Engine CLI plugins. For future support and updates I would recommend using docker compose plugin (Notice the missing dash) which can be install via the docker-compose-plugin package. The following instructions assume that you are using Ubuntu as Distro or any Distro thats using apt as package manager.
Installation Preparations
Update your mirrors:
sudo apt-get update
Make sure the following packages are installed:
sudo apt-get install \
ca-certificates \
curl \
gnupg \
lsb-release
After that add the official Docker GPG Key:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
And finally add the the stable repository:
echo \
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
Also make sure Docker Engine and other needed dependencies are installed:
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Installation of docker compose plugin
sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin
Any future updates of the plugin are easily applied via apt.
For further reference take a look at the official installation instructions of Docker Engine and Docker Compose.
After a lot of looking at ways to perform this I ended up using jq, and hopefully I can expand it to handle other repos beyond Docker-Compose without too much work.
# If you have jq installed this will automatically find the latest release binary for your architecture and download it
curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest" | jq --arg PLATFORM_ARCH "$(echo `uname -s`-`uname -m`)" -r '.assets[] | select(.name | endswith($PLATFORM_ARCH)).browser_download_url' | xargs sudo curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose --url
On ubuntu desktop 18.04.2, I have the 'local' removed from the path when using the curl command to install the package and it works for me. See above answer by Kshitij.
In my case, using Windows + WSL2 with Ubuntu 20.04, was necessary only this:
sudo apt update
and then:
sudo apt upgrade
Centos/RHEL
Follow my answer below if you're using Centos7 with an x86-64 architecture. This answer is also available in my github.
Stop Your Docker Containers
I noticed other answers did not talk about stopping your docker containers/images instances before attempting to upgrade gracefully. Assumptions are inevitable but can be costly. Onward we go!
Options to update Docker-Compose
There are 2 options to upgrade docker-compose if you first downloaded and installed docker-compose using the Curl command.
Using Curl, jq package, and Github's direct URL to the docker-compose repository.
Using Curl, Sed, and Github's direct URL to the docker-compose repository.
Note: some of the commands below require "sudo" privileges.
Demonstration
The script below was saved to a file called "update_docker_compose.sh". You need to give this file executable permissions.
Like so:
chmod +x update_docker_compose.sh
"docker_docker_compose.sh" file content:
#!/bin/bash
# author: fullarray (stackoverflow user)
# Contribution shared on: stackoverflow.com
# Contribution also available on: github.com
# date: 06112022
# Stop current docker container running
docker stop containerID
# Remove current docker network running
docker rm containerID
# Remove image of target application(s)
docker image rm imageID
# Delete either dangling (unatagged images) docker containers or images or network
docker system prune -f
# This step depends on the jq package.
# Uncomment jq package installation command below if using Centos7 x86-64.
# sudo yum install jq
# Declare variable to get latest version of docker-compose from github repository
compose_version=$(curl https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | jq .name -r)
# Declare variable to target installation directory
target_install_dir='/usr/local/bin/docker-compose'
# Get OS and build (assumes Linux Centos7 and x86_64)
get_local_os_build=$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)
# Execute curl command to carry download and installation operation
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$compose_version/docker-compose-$get_local_os_build -o $target_install_dir
# Use chmod to modify permissions to target installation directory (to make it executable)
chmod +x $target_install_dir
# Print docker-compose version to terminal to verify upgrade
$(docker-compose --version)
Edit the script with variables specific to your environment
The script above has a few variables you need to edit with values specific to your docker environment. For instance, you need to replace container ID and image ID with the values that the following commands output.
docker ps
and
docker images output
Once you finalize creating the file (including the edits). Switch to the directory that contains the file. For example, if you created the file in /home/username/script/update_docker_compose.sh
cd /home/username/script
Last, run the script by executing the following
./update_docker_compose.sh
Option 2
Create a script file name "update_docker_compose.sh"
Edit the file and add the following content:
#!/bin/bash
# author: fullarray (stackoverflow user)
# Contribution shared on: stackoverflow.com
# Contribution also available on: github.com
# date: 06112022
# Stop current docker container running
docker stop containerID
# Remove current docker network running
docker rm containerID
# Remove image of target application(s)
docker image rm imageID
# Delete either dangling (unatagged images) docker containers or images or network
docker system prune -f
# Declare variable to target installation directory
target_install_dir='/usr/local/bin/docker-compose'
# Get OS and build (assumes Linux Centos7 and x86_64)
get_local_os_build=$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)
# Execute curl and sed command to carry out download and installation operation
# compose_latest_version=$(curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/`curl -fsSLI -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest | sed 's#.*tag/##g' && echo`/docker-compose-$get_local_os_build") -o $target_install_dir
# Use chmod to modify permissions to target installation directory (to make it executable)
chmod +x $target_install_dir
# Print docker-compose version to terminal to verify upgrade
$(docker-compose --version)
Edit the script with variables specific to your environment
The script above also has a few variables you need to edit with values specific to your docker environment. For instance, you need to replace container ID and image ID with the values that the following commands output.
docker ps
and
docker images output
Once you finalize creating the file (including the edits). Switch to the directory that contains the file. For example, if you created the file in /home/username/script/update_docker_compose.sh
cd /home/username/script
Last, run the script by executing the following
./update_docker_compose.sh
This is the method of installing docker compose version 2.12.x
Update debian package manager
# apt-get update
# apt-get install docker-compose-plugin
Then install the plugin manualy
DOCKER_CONFIG=${DOCKER_CONFIG:-$HOME/.docker}
mkdir -p $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins
curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.12.2/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
Give permisson of execution of file
chmod +x $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
Last test the installation
docker compose version
// Docker Composer Version v2.12.2
If you have homebrew you can also install via brew
$ brew install docker-compose
This is a good way to install on a Mac OS system
Most of these solutions are outdated or make you install old version.
To install the latest
sudo apt install jq
DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | jq .name -r)
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Well, my case was pretty weird. I am using wsl2, and Docker Desktop (Windows 11). I stop getting this error after rename the folder "docker" to "config-dev-server" and update de Dockerfile like this this:
COPY ./docker/apache/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
to
COPY ./config-dev-server/apache/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
With a newer Docker Desktop for Mac 3.3.0, you don't need to install Docker Compose as a seperate package. Docker Compose comes as a first class citizen installed with Docker by default. Check out the below CLI:
docker compose version
Docker Compose version 2.0.0-beta.1%
I write a dockerfile to build a docker image. This docker image has installed cuda drivers with older verisions. So I need to uninstall them, and install some newer ones. Here is the part of the dockerfile.
ENTRYPOINT [ "/bin/bash", "-l", "-c" ]
RUN sudo yum remove -y xorg-x11-drv-nvidia nvidia-kmod cuda-drivers /usr/local/cuda-10.0

RUN sudo rpm -i cuda-repo-rhel7-11-4-local-11.4.1_470.57.02-1.x86_64.rpm
RUN sudo yum -y install nvidia-driver-latest-dkms cuda cuda-drivers; sudo yum clean all;

RUN pip install torch==1.9.0 torchvision==0.10.0 torchaudio==0.9.0
However, after building the image, I find an error when call nvidia-smi:
Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch
Could you give me any advice to fix this problem?
PS: The version of OS is CentOS 7.
I've tried to install Minikube via Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) and have installed curl following these steps:
./configure --nghttp2 --prefix=/usr/local --with-ssl
make
sudo make install
My curl version is 7.63.0.
According to the Platform 9 guide, I wrote the following instruction:
curl -Lo minikube \
https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.18.0/minikube-darwin-
amd64 && chmod +x minikube && mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
This is the system's result:
curl (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
How can I fix this?
Try this:
curl -L -o minikube "https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.18.0/minikube-darwin-amd64" && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv ./minikube /usr/local/bin/
See if it's working.
I am trying to set up whole docker eco system in ubuntu linux running in virtualbox. I succeed in installing docker engine. But I cannot install docker compose and docker machine. Below are the steps I followed to install docker machine.
$ base=https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.14.0 &&
curl -L $base/docker-machine-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) >/tmp/docker- machine &&
sudo install /tmp/docker-machine /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
I am getting below error
/usr/local/bin/docker-machine: line 1: Not: command not found
While running the command docker-machine --version
first uninstall older versions first
sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io
Update the apt package index:
$ sudo apt-get update
Add Docker’s official GPG key:
$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
this 4 lines are one single command. copy paste it.
sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
pub 4096R/0EBFCD88 2017-02-22
Key fingerprint = 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
uid Docker Release (CE deb) <docker#docker.com>
sub 4096R/F273FCD8 2017-02-22
set up the stable repository. You always need the stable repository,
sudo add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
Update the apt package index one more time.
sudo apt-get update
Install the latest version of Docker CE
sudo apt-get install docker-ce
test if it is installed
docker --version
INSTALL DOCKER COMPOSE
Run this command to download the current stable release of Docker Compose:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Apply executable permissions to the binary:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
test it
docker-compose --version
I created a docker container from my OS X VM Docker host. I created it using the run command and created the container based off the ubuntu:xenial image off docker hub.
I'm now connected to my container after it's created and logged in as root and at the command prompt inside my container.
I tried to install homebrew and for some reason, I can't run the command to install Homebrew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
when I run that I get a bash:
curl: command not found
Not sure why I'm not able to use curl here inside my container.
curl: command not found
is a big hint, you have to install it with :
apt-get -y update; apt-get -y install curl
Ran into this same issue while using the CURL command inside my Dockerfile. As Gilles pointed out, we have to install curl first. These are the commands to be added in the 'Dockerfile'.
FROM ubuntu:16.04
# Install prerequisites
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
curl
CMD /bin/bash
So I added curl AFTER my docker container was running.
(This was for debugging the container...I did not need a permanent addition)
I ran my image
docker run -d -p 8899:8080 my-image:latest
(the above makes my "app" available on my machine on port 8899) (not important to this question)
Then I listed and created terminal into the running container.
docker ps
docker exec -it my-container-id-here /bin/sh
If the exec command above does not work, check this SOF article:
Error: Cannot Start Container: stat /bin/sh: no such file or directory"
then I ran:
apk
just to prove it existed in the running container, then i ran:
apk add curl
and got the below:
apk add curl
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.8/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.8/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

then i ran curl:
/ # curl
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
/ #
Note, to get "out" of the drilled-in-terminal-window, I had to open a new terminal window and stop the running container:
docker ps
docker stop my-container-id-here
APPEND:
If you don't have "apk" (which depends on which base image you are using), then try to use "another" installer. From other answers here, you can try:
apt-get -qq update
apt-get -qq -y install curl
This is happening because there is no package cache in the image, you need to run:
apt-get -qq update
before installing packages, and if your command is in a Dockerfile, you'll then need:
apt-get -qq -y install curl
After that install ZSH and GIT Core:
apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core
Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh:
wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | zsh
and then you change your shell to zsh:
chsh -s `which zsh`
and then restart:
sudo shutdown -r 0
This problem is explained in depth in this issue.
If you are using an Alpine based image, you should do
RUN
... \
apk add --no-cache curl \
curl ...
...
You don't need to install curl to download the file into Docker container, use ADD command, e.g.
ADD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install /tmp
RUN ruby -e /tmp/install
Note: Add above lines to your Dockerfile file.
Another example which installs Azure CLI:
ADD https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb /tmp
RUN bash /tmp/InstallAzureCLIDeb
what worked successfully for me was:
FROM ubuntu:20.0.4
RUN apt-get update &&\
apt-get install -y curl
...
You could base your image on one that already has curl.
A minimalistic one:
FROM alpine/curl
or a full-fledged one:
FROM rockylinux:9
