+
+On this page you can find instructions on how to install the Compose on Linux from the command line.
+
+## Install Compose
+
+To install Compose:
+* Option 1: [Set up Docker's repository on your Linux system](#install-using-the-repository).
+* Option 2: [Install Compose manually](#install-the-plugin-manually).
+
+### Install using the repository
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> These instructions assume you already have Docker Engine and Docker CLI installed and now want to install the Compose plugin.  
+For Compose standalone, see [Install Compose Standalone](#install-compose-standalone).
+
+If you have already set up the Docker repository, jump to step 2.
+
+1. Set up the repository in:
+[Ubuntu](../../engine/install/ubuntu.md/#set-up-the-repository) |
+[CentOS](../../engine/install/centos.md/#set-up-the-repository) |
+[Debian](../../engine/install/fedora.md/#set-up-the-repository) |
+[RHEL](../../engine/install/fedora.md/#set-up-the-repository) |
+[SLES](../../engine/install/sles.md/#set-up-the-repository).
+
+2. Update the `apt` package index, and install the _latest version_ of Docker Compose:
+
+    > Or, if using a different distro, use the equivalent package manager instructions.
+
+    ```console
+    $ sudo apt-get update
+    $ sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin
+    ```
+
+    Alternatively, to install a specific version of the Compose CLI plugin:
+
+    a. List the versions available in your repo:
+
+      ```console
+      $ apt-cache madison docker-compose-plugin
+
+        docker-compose-plugin | 2.3.3~ubuntu-focal | https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal/stable arm64 Packages
+      ```
+
+    b. From the list obtained use the version string you can in the second column to specify the version you wish to install.
+
+    c. Install the selected version:
+
+
+      ```console
+      $ sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin=<VERSION_STRING>
+      ```
+    where `<VERSION_STRING>` is, for example,`2.3.3~ubuntu-focal`.
+
+3.  Verify that Docker Compose is installed correctly by checking the version.
+
+    ```console
+    $ docker compose version
+    Docker Compose version v2.3.3
+    ```
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> To run Compose as a non-root user, see [Manage Docker as a non-root user](../../engine/install/linux-postinstall.md){:target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"}.
+
+
+### Install the plugin manually
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> This option requires you to manage upgrades manually. We recommend setting up Docker's repository for an easier maintenance.
+
+1.  To download and install the Compose CLI plugin, run:
+
+    ```console
+    $ DOCKER_CONFIG=${DOCKER_CONFIG:-$HOME/.docker}
+    $ mkdir -p $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins
+    $ curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/{{site.compose_version}}/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
+    ```
+
+    This command downloads the latest release of Docker Compose (from the Compose releases repository) and installs Compose for the active user under `$HOME` directory.
+
+    To install:
+    * Docker Compose for _all users_ on your system, replace `~/.docker/cli-plugins` with `/usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins`.
+    * A different version of Compose, substitute `{{site.compose_version}}` with the version of Compose you want to use.
+
+2. Apply executable permissions to the binary:
+
+     ```console
+    $ chmod +x $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
+    ```
+    or, if you chose to install Compose for all users:
+
+    ```console
+    $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
+    ```
+
+3. Test the installation.
+
+    ```console
+    $ docker compose version
+    Docker Compose version {{site.compose_version}}
+    ```
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> To run Compose as a non-root user, see [Manage Docker as a non-root user](../../engine/install/linux-postinstall.md){:target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"}.
+
+
+## Install Compose Standalone
+
+> **Compose standalone**
+>
+> Note that Compose standalone uses the _dash compose_ syntax instead of current's standard syntax (_space compose_).
+
+1. To download and install Compose standalone, run:
+  ```console
+  $ curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/{{site.compose_version}}/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
+  ```
+2. Apply executable permissions to the standalone binary in the target path for the installation.
+3. Test and execute compose commands using `docker-compose`.
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> If the command `docker-compose` fails after installation, check your path.
+> You can also create a symbolic link to `/usr/bin` or any other directory in your path. 
+> For example:
+> ```console
+> $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
+> ```
