How do I uninstall docker-compose?

Question

I installed docker-compose by following the official documentation: http://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

Now I want to uninstall docker-compose.

$ docker-compose -h 

offers no command for uninstalling, nor does the official documentation offer any instructions.

I deleted my docker-compose.yml file and /usr/local/bin/docker-compose, but I want to make sure that's everything.

I'm using OSX Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MacbookPro.

EDIT: Regarding the installation instructions I followed, I didn't use pip. I used the documented curl command:

$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.3.1/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose $ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Documenation

Please note that this is now in the docs.

Coupled Installation and Removal

Note: on Mac Docker now installs Docker Compose. So the strategy for removal has changed a bit. If you uninstall Docker, and you want to uninstall both, then you also uninstall Docker Compose.

Individual Removal if Installed Using curl

It is commonly installed to /usr/local/bin/docker-compose on macs. However, you can run which docker-compose to find the exact location.

Run the following command (*nix systems) to remove:

rm $(which docker-compose) 

If you get a permission denied error then you will need to prepend sudo:

sudo rm $(which docker-compose) 

To verify that it was successful, run the following command which should return nothing:

which docker-compose 

It should say that the command wasn't found.

Individual Removal if Installed Using PIP

If you've installed Docker Compose using PIP then you can run:

pip uninstall docker-compose 

You may have to use sudo if you get a permission denied error:

sudo pip uninstall docker-compose 

Answer 2

first get docker path by:

which docker-compose

then it will return path like:/usr/bin/docker-compose

then remove it:

sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/docker-compose
