wait…why is the command “uninstall” and not install

I don’t know maybe i change it and see what happeds

We try to clean up old docker-compose installations on new install because docker-compose switched from Python to Go

As workaround, once you hit by the issue, you should get the blue error box. There is an option to change command. Hit that option, replace the given command with true and try again.

BTW: before doing anything. Can you run following command manually

pip3 uninstall -y docker-compose

Does it give same error message? At least on my test system it finished without error, even Python version of docker-compose was not installed before.

I’m not 100% sure but mit might be an issue with the Python environment in general and not related to docker-compose?

That works just fine.
Thank you.

Sorry for the hijack. I’m having the same issue in installing docker-compose thru dietpi-software, but with different issue. I can’t even execute docker-compose in CLI. The error prompt is docker-compose: command not found.

Please advise how I may proceed. Thanks.

Yes, maybe better to open a new post if you have different issue. Anyway, I guess you missed latest changes of Docker Compose Docker Compose overview | Docker Docs And some more information Migrate to Compose V2 | Docker Docs

You should be able to run docker compose instead of docker-compose

Yes, you’re the man. Stupid enough that I uninstall it from dietpi-software and apt install docker-compose. :crazy_face:
