docker-compose installation instructions did not work on Mac with arm64

Is this a docs issue?

• My issue is about the documentation content or website

Type of issue

Information is incorrect

Description

After following the instructions I had docker, but not docker-compose. I was able to fix the problem by downloading the correct docker-compose from github. I've seen some documentation that tries to generalize this using "latest" rather than a specific version number and uname -s and uname -m. Unfortunately that yields docker-compose-Darwin-arm64 as the package name, which is incorrect. Downloading that package and moving it into docker-compose in the installed Docker Desktop image, then changing the permissions and ownership to match the other files seems to yield the desired results.

Suggestion

Add instructions on how to add docker-compose to Docker Desktop on the Mac. Perhaps it could be the method I used. Alternately, perhaps Homebrew would do the trick.

Hi @djbauch. Docker Compose is already included in Docker Desktop, so I'm unsure how you ended up needing to do this. Where did you originally download from?
