Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/RD17/ambar/issues/25

So I installed a 64-bit version of Ubuntu server inside VMware with the default settings. The only thing I changed was to install a few additional things (Samba file server and OpenSSH server). Next I run sudo apt-get update and then follow the instructions to install Docker CE. Adding the repository seems to go well, and then I install docker, and I follow step 2 (sudo apt-get install docker-ce). I am able to run the hello-world container that outputs a successful message. docker --version gives me v17.03.1-ce, build c6d412e.

Next I try to install docker-compose. pip is not installed by default it seems, so I run sudo apt install python-pip. pip version is 8.1.1 (python 2.7) if that matters. Next I run pip install docker-compose. It completes and mentions a newer version of pip is available. I execute the wget command on the blog, followed by sudo ./ambar.py install. Here I run into an issue- docker-compose not found. But docker-compose --version returns version 1.12.0, build b31ff33.

Yesterday I had a different error (ERROR: In file 'docker-compose.yml' service 'version' doesn't have any configuration options), but today is different. I'm not proficient with linux and all its permissions and various directories, so if it's obvious something is wrong, I won't see it. Thanks for any help!

Hello!
Try this: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
After, try sudo ./ambar.py install again.

I had this same issue. I ran
pip uninstall docker-compose
then
sudo pip install docker-compose
and it fixed my issue. Not sure if the command by fpd4444 would of worked also.

Okay, I ended up having to do the curl command to pull the latest docker-compose and then put it in /usr/bin/docker-compose and chmod +x for that directory. Is that an incorrect way of doing it?

Now ambar installs and I can load the web ui. I'm able to upload some files and it does register that documents have been uploaded under the total MB uploaded. But nothing shows up in search or in statistics panel.

I'm not sure what logs to pull to give you additional information. I rebooted the VM and now it's just stuck on the loading screen with the loading icon ..
