I am new to docker-compose and getting the following error when I type in docker-compose ps.

Docker-compose is written by python. It seems that you miss some python packages. You can refer to the following page of how to fix the python lib issue. Matplotlib issue on OS X ("ImportError: cannot import name _thread")

Alternatively, you can try to install docker-compose as a container, the docker container contains appropriate environment for docker-compose. https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-as-a-container
