How can I check if docker compose plugin is installed?

I can check if docker is installed through the which docker or command -v docker commands. But I need to check if docker's compose plugin is installed (I will use it like docker compose up -d later).

Solution

  • Write on terminal:

    docker compose version

    The output must look like:

    Docker Compose version vX.Y.Z

    Source: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/compose/

    There's an alternative way if it doesn't work.

    Write on terminal:

      docker-compose --version

    The return would look like:

    docker-compose version X.Y.Z, build <identifier>
