Update Your System
First, make sure your package list is up to date,

apt update -y

apt upgrade -y

Install Docker
If Docker is not already installed on your system, you can install it using the following commands,

apt install docker.io

Install Docker Compose
To install Docker Compose, you can use the below commands. You may need to download the latest version of Docker Compose from the official GitHub repository,

curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

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

The above command will download and install the latest version of Docker Compose.

Verify Docker Compose Version
Check if Docker Compose was installed successfully by running,

docker-compose --version

Output:

root@server:~# docker-compose --version
Docker Compose version v2.25.0
root@server:~#

Done.
