Hi there, thank you for taking the pain away from installing the latest docker version.

One little improvement though:
The script is dependent on git being installed.
Maybe add something like:
hash git 2>/dev/null || { echo >&2 "I require git but it's not installed. Aborting..."; exit 1;}

Oh my dayum! This script is delicious :)
Thank you sir.

A little warn here : please consider using -E (extended regex) instead of -P (Perl regex) in your grep expression. => Some grep may not support -P : busybox for example does not support this flag.

Nice script, tkx.

However, sometimes the versions of docker-compose are not ordered and so the version downloaded is not the last one.

This fixes it:

COMPOSE_VERSION=`git ls-remote https://github.com/docker/compose | grep refs/tags | grep -oP "[0-9]+\.[0-9][0-9]+\.[0-9]+$" | sort --version-sort | tail -n 1`

I haven't updated this in a long time. I'm happy to see it still works.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add your fix in.
