Docker compose install error 'curl: (56) OpenSSL SSL_read: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, errno 104' in Ubuntu - docker-compose

Question

I am trying to install docker compose on the Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.
I tried installing using the official link here and followed the Docker Compose documentation given, but when i run the command
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
then after some time it gives me this error

Kindly help me on this i have tried many times but it is not working.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I assume that you are using Docker Docs, which are usually outdated. You should go to Docker Compose Github instead.
Solution
1 - Open Linux Terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T
2 - Install curl:
sudo apt install curl
3 - Turn on root privileges in terminal for your user (something like admin in Windows OS), with command:
sudo -i
4 - Go to Docker Compose Github. In releases you will find this code. Run it in your linux terminal.
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.1-rc1/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
5 - Turn off root privileges in terminal for your user, with command:
exit
6 - Check if docker-compose is installed with command:
docker-compose version
Outcome: In your terminal, you should see docker-compose version number and some other informations.
