Getting Started

To start with creating your first MC Compose stack you need the Docker engine, Docker Compose Plugin and Git.

Installation of Docker & Docker Compose

To install the Docker engine on your device and os please visit "Install Docker Engine", there you probably want to install the Server software and not the desktop application. If you follow this installation guide completely you should also have the Docker Compose Plugin. You can check both by issuing the following commands in your terminal.

Docker:

Docker Compose:

sudo docker compose version 

If you have the intention to use Docker and Docker Compose not as the root user, you need to make sure that the user who should run both in part of the docker group.

To install Git you need to have a look for you os but mostly on Linux it should be a package called git what is probably already installed.
