如果你安装了pip，升级你可以使用:

 pip install --upgrade docker-compose

或者像Mariyo在pip3中明确指出的那样:

 pip3 install --upgrade docker-compose

使用更新的Mac 3.3.0 Docker Desktop，你不需要将Docker Compose作为一个单独的包安装。Docker Compose作为Docker默认安装的一等公民。看看下面的CLI:

docker compose version
Docker Compose version 2.0.0-beta.1%

在mac上(也适用于ubuntu):

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/<release-version>/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

注意:写在这里: https://github.com/docker/compose/releases

下面是另一个使用curl和sed安装最新版本docker-compose的联机程序。

curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/`curl -fsSLI -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest | sed 's#.*tag/##g' && echo`/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

在研究了很多方法之后，我最终使用了jq，希望我可以扩展它来处理Docker-Compose之外的其他回购，而不需要太多的工作。

# If you have jq installed this will automatically find the latest release binary for your architecture and download it
curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest" | jq --arg PLATFORM_ARCH "$(echo `uname -s`-`uname -m`)" -r '.assets[] | select(.name | endswith($PLATFORM_ARCH)).browser_download_url' | xargs sudo curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose --url

如果你尝试sudo apt-get remove docker-compose并得到E: Unable to locate package docker-compose，请尝试以下方法:

这个命令必须返回一个结果，以便检查它是否安装在这里:

ls -l /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

删除旧版本:

sudo rm -rf docker-compose

下载最新版本(查看官方repo: docker/compose/releases):

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

(如有需要，替换1.24.0)

最后，对二进制文件应用可执行权限:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

检查版本:

docker-compose -v
