# Install Docker Compose
To install Compose, you'll need to install Docker first. You'll then install
Compose with a `curl` command.
## Install Docker
First, install Docker version 1.6 or greater:
- [Instructions for Mac OS X](http://docs.docker.com/installation/mac/)
- [Instructions for Ubuntu](http://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/)
- [Instructions for other systems](http://docs.docker.com/installation/)
## Install Compose
To install Compose, run the following commands:
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.2.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
> Note: If you get a "Permission denied" error, your `/usr/local/bin` directory probably isn't writable and you'll need to install Compose as the superuser. Run `sudo -i`, then the two commands above, then `exit`.
Optionally, you can also install [command completion](completion.md) for the
bash shell.
Compose is available for OS X and 64-bit Linux. If you're on another platform,
Compose can also be installed as a Python package:
$ sudo pip install -U docker-compose
No further steps are required; Compose should now be successfully installed.
You can test the installation by running `docker-compose --version`.
