Docker Compose does not work: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'compose'

Question

So I try to run docker-compose on Fedora 36 but any time I try it, it says this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/docker-compose", line 33, in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('docker-compose==1.29.2', 'console_scripts', 'docker-compose')())
File "/usr/bin/docker-compose", line 25, in importlib_load_entry_point
return next(matches).load()
File "/usr/lib64/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 171, in load
module = import_module(match.group('module'))
File "/usr/lib64/python3.10/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module
return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'compose'`

I tried using pip install docker-compose but It didn't help.

Answer 1

For RPM-based distros, run:

sudo yum update
sudo yum install docker-compose-plugin

Also, you will try to manually install with bin file:

curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.15.1/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

Answer 2

I simply migrated from docker-compose to docker compose (newer version: Difference between "docker compose" and "docker-compose") and everything started work well

Answer 3

Seems a python missing module. Try to install "compose".

sudo pip install compose

Or remove docker-compose from the system with pip and try to reinstall using the version supplied by the vendor

sudo yum install docker-compose

Also you can try to use docker-compose-plugin and use "docker compose" instead of "docker-compose". Try installing with package manager.

sudo yum install docker-compose-plugin

It should help. Tell me if helped.
