You’re an awesome WordPress developer and wanted to use docker with WordPress and run into an error.

docker: 'compose' is not a docker command

in docker v1 to use docker compose you had to use docker-compose … but in v2 docker compose is added a docker subcommand i.e. docker compose

To install Docker Compose v2 run this command as root.

sudo apt install -y docker-compose-v2
