But it doesn't come with Docker compose binaries. You might have to install it manually.

The usual process of installing Docker Compose is by using curl command as shown:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.27.4/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

BUT ! it won't work for your Jetson Nano.

Follow the below guide to get Docker Compose installed on your Jetson Nano.

## Installing Docker Compose on NVIDIA Jetson Nano

Jetson Nano doesnt come with Docker Compose installed by default. You will need to install it first:


export DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION=1.27.4
sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo pip3 install docker-compose=="${DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION}"
apt install python3
apt install python3-pip
pip install docker-compose



docker-compose version
docker-compose version 1.26.2, build unknown
docker-py version: 4.3.1
CPython version: 3.6.9
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.1.1  11 Sep 2018

I have an issue while installing line 85, below is the error:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-ltox03ll/bcrypt/

Any thoughts about it?

@Clark1216, Upgrading to the latest version of pip3 fixed the issue for me.

Thx a lot, it works

Glad that it worked for you.

I fix it using command: sudo pip3 install docker-compose
