How can I open/run a YML compose file on my computer? I've installed Docker for Windows and Docker tools but couldn't figure out how.

The Compose file is a YAML file defining services, networks and volumes. The default path for a Compose file is ./docker-compose.yml .
You can open a YAML file in any text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad (Windows) or Apple TextEdit (Mac). However, if you intend to edit a YAML file, you should open it using a source code editor, such as NotePad++ (Windows) or GitHub Atom (cross-platform).
If you are asking how to open YAML files, then you can use some common editors like NotePad++ in windows or vim in linux. If your question is about running the compose yaml file, then run this command from the directory where compose file is residing:
docker-compose -f {compose file name} up You can avoid -f if your filename is docker-compose.yml
