Setting up Compose

Podman Desktop can install the Compose engine.

Procedure

1. Go to Settings > Resources.
2. In the Compose tile, click Setup, and follow the prompts.

Verification

1. The Compose reference implementation is in your PATH, therefore, you can display the Compose engine version in a terminal:

   $ docker-compose version

2. Podman detects the same Compose version:

   $ podman compose version

Next steps

• Run Compose.
