Issue with Yadle not seeing docker-compose

Install & Configure
1

So I installed docker-compose by following the docs.
To test I ran this:

[frank@spiff yadle_installer_saas]$ docker-compose -version
docker-compose version 1.28.6, build 5db8d86f

But still, when I try to install the yadle microservices I get this error:

Checking for docker-compose…
[ERROR] the Yadle installer requires docker-compose. Please install docker-compose and run this script again.

Installation failed.

[frank@spiff yadle_installer_saas]$ which docker-compose
/usr/local/bin/docker-compose

What am I missing?

Cheers,
frank

Ah, never mind. I forgot the symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

You resolved it faster than I could type the solution! That is a subtle detail during the docker-compose installation that is often overlooked.

Thanks Erik, if it’s commonly overlooked why not add it to the error message?
E.g.:

 Checking for docker-compose…
  [ERROR] the Yadle installer cannot find docker-compose.
          If it is installed make sure it is symlinked to /usr/bin/docker-compose, e.g.:
          ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
 
 Otherwise please install docker-compose and run this script again.

That is a good idea. I’ve also just made a note of it on the Linux environment setup page.
