Compose is a simple to use tool that offers a wide range of capabilities and this particular blog post is dedicated towards learning how to get the compose environment up and running on a machine that is running Ubuntu.

Step 3: Unzip the installer using a unzip utility or through the terminal
Step4 : You now have the unzipped file in the form of a .bin file.
Step 5: Please make sure you now change the permissions to give full permissions to read/write and execute so that you can run the .bin file in ubuntu with the command below in a terminal.
