Installing Compose
First, install Docker version 1.3 or greater.
If you're on OS X, you can use the OS X installer to install both Docker and boot2docker. Once boot2docker is running, set the environment variables that'll configure Docker and Compose to talk to it:
$(boot2docker shellinit)
To persist the environment variables across shell sessions, you can add that line to your ~/.bashrc file.
There are also guides for Ubuntu and other platforms in Docker’s documentation.
Next, install Compose:
curl -L https://github.com/docker/fig/releases/download/1.1.0-rc2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose; chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Optionally, install command completion for the bash shell.
Releases are available for OS X and 64-bit Linux. Compose is also available as a Python package if you're on another platform (or if you prefer that sort of thing):
$ sudo pip install -U docker-compose
That should be all you need! Run docker-compose --version to see if it worked.
