Cannot open self /usr/local/bin/docker-compose or archive /usr/local/bin/docker-compose.pkg. (in ubuntu14.04 amd64)

I install it by pip, and code as follow:
pip install docker-compose
chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

so, please tell me how can I do?

Related to #1135?

Note that the same error occurs if the docker-compose is corrupted (e.g., a network error when downloading via curl).
Cross-check that the sha265sum of the file is matching the ones listed: https://github.com/docker/compose/releases. If not, redownload and replace the corrupted file.

i met this problem too and i finally solved this by downloading docker-compose with the
docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 rather than by curl command.

I ran into this problem with a completely different project (MIT App Inventor). The TL;DR is that the way PyInstaller builds its executables makes them break if they're stripped or if prelink runs against them. This was supposed to be addressed here, but in the mean time, you can drop a file in /etc/prelink.conf.d/ with the contents of -b /path/to/docker-compose and that should keep prelink from mangling it.

Same error. Download using curl not working. So I just followed as @armoour commented. Now it is working fine.
docker-compose

I see this is an ancient issue, but since it doesn't follow the template there is not enough information in either the original post or all the "same" posts to make progress, therefore I am closing, if you are still have problems then please open a new issue and provide all of the information requested by the "Bug Report" template you will be presented with.

download from https://github.com/docker/compose/releases don't use curl
rename file as docker-compose and place in /usr/local/bin/
provide rx permission to file
and check docker verison

[Enigma228322]

Solved with this: sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.3/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

This did not work for me either.

This doesn't work for me on ubuntu

I had a similar error message. Here is how I have resolved it:

1. Check the file's permission flags: ls -al /usr/local/bin/docker-compose It should show something like: -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 17586312 May 18 08:02 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
2. Make sure your user(like root or any other) is either is root or is in root group based on the above returned result.
   If your user is NOT in either of above in step#2, then:
3. Add read and execute permissions to 'other' groups: chmod o+rx /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
4. And be a happy camper now :)

P.S. make sure you are changing or checking permissions of the actual file and not a link to it!

useful，problem fix.

This is a documentation issue.

Followed the installation procedure according to https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-compose-on-linux-systems.
(debian/buster here)

Ran into the same problem today while setting up Gitlab-Runner.
Solved it by setting file permissions for docker-compose to 755.

The installation manual should be updated accordingly.
