Quick install:
curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/luislobo/2dc3de67b7f2ddc623c239dff36962a0/raw/9f24ff62eb7ada78718f5a805b54c0295c248692/install_latest_docker_compose.sh | bash /dev/stdin

This looks great! I'll be using it later :) Thanks!

Nice ! Thanks

HI luislobo,

Thanks for the script.

i made small fix for docker-compose version. above mentioned grep -oP thowring error for me. after adding below mentioned line docker-compose successfully installed on machine created through Docker-machine.

docker_compose_version="$(git ls-remote https://github.com/docker/compose | grep "refs/tag" | awk '{print $2}' | tail -n1 | egrep -o "1.*")

This version skips release candidates and grabs the latest stable version...

    docker_compose_version=$(git ls-remote https://github.com/docker/compose | tail -n8 | awk '{print $2}' | grep -Po 'refs/tags/\K([\d.]{5})(?!-\w+)' | tail -n1)

Thanks! This saved me a bunch of time this afternoon.

Install latest version of docker-compose with Github API, jq and curl

# install latest docker compose via GitHub API and curl
install-docker-compose () {
    fname="docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)"
    fbin="~/.local/bin/docker-compose"
    repos_dl="https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download"
    repos_api="https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest"
    version=$(curl -sSL $repos_api | jq -r '. | .tag_name')
    /bin/rm -f "$fbin"
    curl -sSL $repos_dl/"$version"/"$fname" -o "$fbin"
    chmod +x $fbin
}

Hi
I saw now days this command no longer is working. giving exception with command argument.

git ls-remote https://github.com/docker/compose | grep "refs/tag" | grep -oP "[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+"
usage: grep [-abcDEFGHhIiJLlmnOoqRSsUVvwxZ] [-A num] [-B num] [-C[num]]
[-e pattern] [-f file] [--binary-files=value] [--color=when]
[--context[=num]] [--directories=action] [--label] [--line-buffered]
[--null] [pattern] [file ...]

Thanks !
