Compose: docker-compose won't install [Linux mint 17.1 | Python3 | Anaconda3]

[ruxi]

According to the docs, these are the commands to install compose:

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.1.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

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

When I do that, this is what returned:

bash: /usr/local/bin/docker-compose: Permission denied

So I tried the pip method

 sudo pip install -U docker-compose

It also gave me some errors:

Not sure if the issue has to do with anaconda.

Docker works fine

Docker version 1.5.0, build a8a31ef

It would be nice to just use

docker pull compose

to install this thing, just like swarm

My amateurness is showing.

The 'permission denied' was resolved by using

sudo su
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.1.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

followed by

sudo docker-compose --version

to check

Thanks @ruxi!

[luisrudge]

This should be documented on the first page :)

[ruxi]

Glad it helped!

Re-opened the issue so maybe it'll be added to the docs

[luisrudge]

Great!

Looks like the docs for this have been merged, closing

@ruxi Thank you so much for this mate! We have the same problem but I use sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.1.0/docker-compose-uname -s-uname -m> /usr/local/bin/docker-compose . But I'm getting the permission error you mentioned. So I tried 'sudo su' first.
