Hi,

Thanks for this gist. I need to use it but I got the following error:

chmod: /var/lib/boot2docker/bin/docker-compose: No such file or directory

I used docker for mac on macOS Sierra version 10.12.6

I tried to save install-docker-compose.sh in /var/lib/boot2docker/bin/ but there is no such path in macOS!

Could you please guide me where should I save install-docker-compose.sh ?

Any help ?

I got the same error

Sorry, I don't even remember why I created this script in the first place. It is 6 years old...

Boot2Docker is EOL since last year.
There is docker-compose v2 available now, which is part of the docker cli (docker compose ...):

oh, ok. thanks for the answer. I ended up installing the docker in the server since it is a linux remote server :D
