Docker compose download windows

Docker Compose lets you run complex applications using a single command. This means that containers can be deployed faster and more efficiently. Our tutorial guides you through the Docker Compose Windows installation step by step.

What are the requirements of Docker Compose on Windows?

Docker Compose is an integral part of Docker Desktop for Windows. To use the standalone version of Docker Compose, the following requirements must be met:

• Docker Engine: Compose is an extension of Docker Engine. So you need to have the Docker Server and Client binaries installed.
• Operating System: Windows, administrator rights

How to install Docker Compose on Windows step by step

To install and use Docker Compose, Docker Daemon and Docker Client should be running on your Windows server. Before getting started it’s best to ensure that the Docker service is running error-free.

Step 1: Start PowerShell

First, launch PowerShell using your administrator rights. Confirm “Yes” to allow the app to make changes to your device.

Step 2: Set up TLS security protocol

GitHub requires TLS1.2 as the default security protocol. Run the following command in Windows PowerShell:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Step 3: Download and install Docker Compose

Download the latest version of Compose (v2.17.2) from GitHub:

Start-BitsTransfer -Source "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.17.2/docker-compose-Windows-x86_64.exe" -Destination $Env:ProgramFiles\Docker\docker-compose.exe

To install a different version, simply replace v2.17.2 in the target address with the desired version number.

Step 3: Test Docker Compose

Check if the installation was successful by displaying the current version of Compose:

docker compose version

You should see the following output:

Pick Your Operating System

You came here to ask, «how do I install Docker?» The answer can be straightforward if you’re willing to accept my way, but the steps differ based on which operating system is utilized. To make things more complicated, there are a few ways to install Docker on your OS that are largely based on preference. Today I’m going to walk you through my preferred method. This isn’t the only way, but I’ve found it to be the best way to get up and running with ease. For Ubuntu, we’ll be setting up the Docker Engine. For Windows and macOS, we’ll be using Docker Desktop.

Click on any of the links below to get started with installing Docker.

• Installing Docker on Ubuntu
• Installing Docker Compose on Ubuntu
• Automated Installation Script for Linux (Ubuntu)
• Installing Docker Desktop on macOS
• Installing Docker Desktop on Windows and WSL2

Installing Docker on Ubuntu

For Ubuntu, we’re going to install Docker Engine and Docker Compose using the Docker and Compose repositories. This also happens to be the recommended approach by Docker.

Set Up

1. Delete any prior versions if you had installed them.

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

1. Update your system and install the necessary dependencies.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release

1. For security purposes, add Docker’s official GPG key. Read more about that here.

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

1. Set up the stable repository.

echo \
  "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

That’s quite a few steps, but if you followed along exactly, you should be ready to install Docker!

Installation

1. Install the latest version of Docker, along with its dependencies.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

If you are running a later version of Ubuntu than what Docker has official builds for, you may get the following
error during this step.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package docker-ce is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package docker-ce-cli
E: Unable to locate package containerd.io
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'containerd.io'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'containerd.io'

But don’t worry! We’ll just need to go install the latest version that is available. This can be done with the
following command INSTEAD of the one above.

sudo apt-get install -y docker.io

1. Verify your install by running your first image.

sudo docker run hello-world

1. Add your user as an admin to the Docker user group.

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Doing this last step means you no longer have to append sudo to run Docker commands!

Uninstall

Fed up with Docker on your Ubuntu box? Uninstall and remove the configuration files with the following commands.

sudo apt-get purge docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/containerd

Installing Docker Compose on Ubuntu

Install

You must have completed the installation of Docker Engine in the steps above before you can install Docker Compose. Assuming you’ve done so without any errors, let’s continue on!

1. Download the stable release of Docker compose.

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

Unlike the installation for Docker Engine where it automatically installs the latest version, Docker Compose has to have the version manually specified. At the time of writing, the latest version is 1.29.2. The latest version can be viewed at the Compose repository release page on GitHub. Feel free to substitute the version in the command above as needed.

1. Make the downloaded binary executable.

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

Uninstall

To remove Docker Compose, utilize the following command (assuming you installed with curl as we did above).

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

Automated Installation Script for Linux (Ubuntu)

An automated installation script can be found here. The contents are pasted below.

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting docker community edition install..."
echo "Removing any old instances of docker and installing dependencies"
apt remove -y docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

echo "Dowloading latest docker and adding official GPG key"
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | apt-key add -
echo "Pulling the latest repository"
add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
apt update
echo "Installing docker community edition"
apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
echo "Docker install completed, installing docker-compose"
echo "Dowloading docker-compose 1.29.2 - be sure to update to the latest stable"
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o
/usr/local/bin/docker-compose
echo "Setting binary permissions"
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
echo “Docker and docker-compose install complete”
# Run docker as non-root user on Ubuntu
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Installing Docker Desktop on macOS

Note that Docker Desktop comes pre-equipped with Docker Engine, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and a few other goodies.

Installation

Intel or Apple Silicon

Depending on which chipset you have on your Mac, you’ll need to install one of two versions of the Docker Desktop application. As this is a GUI application, there’s not much needed other than navigating to the correct site and installing the .dmg file. Just drag and drop the Docker icon into your Applications directory.
