Error: docker-compose is not installed.

Hi guys,

I am hitting a wall here, I need a little hint.

I am new to Linux, raspi, python, etc.. Programming since 40 years though, Fortran, C, C++, Pascal, VB, VBA etc., industrial controllers (Siemens, Honeywell, etc).

I want to install ct-Home-Server (raspi 4 with OpenSprinkler, nothing else) but I get an error when running start.sh:

$ cd ct-Smart-Home
$~/ct-Smart-Home $ ./start.sh start
⚠️ Error: docker-compose is not installed.

Docker and docker-compose was installed according to https://www.heise.de/ratgeber/Docker-einrichten-unter-Linux-Windows-macOS-4309355.html:

$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
$ sudo sh get-docker.sh
$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
$ apt install docker-compose-plugin

After installing. I checked the installation:

$ docker version

$ docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.24.5

ct-Smart-Home was installed like described in this main section in git hub:

• Clone this repository
• cd into the folder containing this repos files
• Run ./start.sh start

Anybody got an idea?

Cheers

i got the hint to replace "docker-compose" by "docker compose" (remove the "-")
But error message is the same.
Mabye it has something to do with the function "check_dependencies"?

function check_dependencies {
if ! [ -x "$(command -v docker compose)" ]; then
echo '⚠️ Error: docker compose is not installed.' >&2
exit 1
fi

if ! [ -x "$(command -v git)" ]; then
	echo '⚠️  Error: git is not installed.' >&2
	exit 1
fi

}

I commented the if in the function and then it works:

if ! [ -x "$(command -v git)" ]; then

echo '⚠️ Error: git is not installed.' >&2

exit 1

fi
