Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/RD17/ambar/issues/106

Installing on ubuntu 16.04, docker-compose version 1.8.0.

Followed the guide (https://blog.ambar.cloud/ambar-installation-step-by-step-guide-2/), but after some downloading I get this error:

ERROR: Version in "/home/ddoyle/Ambar/docker-compose.yml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version. Either specify a version of "2" (or "2.0") and place your service definitions under the services key, or omit the version key and place your service definitions at the root of the file to use version 1.
For more on the Compose file format versions, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/

Had the same.
Had to remove docker-compose.
sudo apt autoremove --purge docker-compose
and then add
sudo apt install docker-compose.io (if I remember right)
