Looks like I am having the same issue as this docker-compose-usr-local-bin-docker-compose-line-1-not-command-not-found but when I looked at my '/usr/local/bin/docker-compose' file it was not empty. Also when I try the pip install, it said 'Requirement already satisfied: docker-compose in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (1.27.4)' That made me think it was something else.

I am running 64 bit Ubuntu 21.10 server on an RPI 4 with 4gig memory and USB 250gig SSD. I am booting USB. I used the Raspberry Pi Imager v1.6.2 to flash the drive. The uname -r is '5.13.0-1009-raspi'

I can run 'sudo docker run hello-world:latest' without errors.

Just to be clear, my exact error:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ docker-compose --version
/usr/local/bin/docker-compose: line 1: Not: command not found
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$

Edit: If my assumption is correct in my answer, then it may have more to do with 64bit arm than Ubuntu. Just in case that is it, I also updated the specs above. I added it was 64 bit Ubuntu.

In my case, it was a simple version name issue.

I was trying this

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/2.6.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

2.6.0 -> v2.6.0. -- missing "v" letter.

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.6.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Years ago, the version's name didn't include the letter "v."

I found a different "How to" DOCKER ON UBUNTU RASPBERRY PI 4 From what I can remember, seems a lot like other "How to". There was this one comment.

Docker does not have a release for Docker-Compose for arm64 yet; however, I have a shell script which will allow us to download a compatible Docker-Compose container with arm64 from my GitHub.

He had one for 1.28 and one for "the latest" I used the latest

sudo curl -L --fail https://github.com/AppTower/docker-compose/releases/download/latest/run.sh -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Then when I tried the docker-compose --version I got this:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ docker-compose --version

Bottom line, I wish I could document for others in the same boat, but I am not sure exactly what it was that fixed it. Just that I was able to see the version. Now back to the project that I need docker for. :-)

I had a similar issue on Centos, the docker-compose file was empty with just one line written "Not Found".I solved this issue by directly downloading the correct version of docker compose file from github which for me was docker-compose-Linux-x86_64. Please Note that "Linux" and "x86_64" depends on your machine specification. You can get them by running $uname -s and $uname -m respectively. After this i made the file executable using $ sudo chmod
