-Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.
-With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your application's services.
-Then, using a single command, you create and start all the services
-from your configuration. To learn more about all the features of Compose
-see [the list of features](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/compose/index.md#features).
+Docker Compose is a tool for running multi-container applications on Docker
+defined using the [Compose file format](https://compose-spec.io).
+A Compose file is used to define how the one or more containers that make up
+your application are configured.
+Once you have a Compose file, you can create and start your application with a
+single command: `docker-compose up`.
 
-Compose is great for development, testing, and staging environments, as well as
-CI workflows. You can learn more about each case in
-[Common Use Cases](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/compose/index.md#common-use-cases).
+Compose files can be used to deploy applications locally, or to the cloud on
+[Amazon ECS](https://aws.amazon.com/ecs) or
+[Microsoft ACI](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/container-instances/) using
+the Docker CLI. You can read more about how to do this:
+- [Compose for Amazon ECS](https://docs.docker.com/engine/context/ecs-integration/)
+- [Compose for Microsoft ACI](https://docs.docker.com/engine/context/aci-integration/)
 
-Using Compose is basically a three-step process.
+Where to get Docker Compose
+----------------------------
 
-1. Define your app's environment with a `Dockerfile` so it can be
-reproduced anywhere.
-2. Define the services that make up your app in `docker-compose.yml` so
-they can be run together in an isolated environment.
-3. Lastly, run `docker-compose up` and Compose will start and run your entire app.
+### Windows and macOS
 
-A `docker-compose.yml` looks like this:
+Docker Compose is included in
+[Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop)
+for Windows and macOS.
 
-    version: '2'
+### Linux
 
-    services:
-      web:
-        build: .
-        ports:
-         - "5000:5000"
-        volumes:
-         - .:/code
-      redis:
-        image: redis
+You can download Docker Compose binaries from the
+[release page](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases) on this repository.
 
-For more information about the Compose file, see the
-[Compose file reference](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/compose/compose-file/compose-versioning.md).
+### Using pip
 
-Compose has commands for managing the whole lifecycle of your application:
+If your platform is not supported, you can download Docker Compose using `pip`:
 
- * Start, stop and rebuild services
- * View the status of running services
- * Stream the log output of running services
- * Run a one-off command on a service
+```console
+pip install docker-compose
+```
 
-Installation and documentation
-------------------------------
+> **Note:** Docker Compose requires Python 3.6 or later.
 
-- Full documentation is available on [Docker's website](https://docs.docker.com/compose/).
-- Code repository for Compose is on [GitHub](https://github.com/docker/compose).
-- If you find any problems please fill out an [issue](https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/new/choose). Thank you!
+Quick Start

+3. Lastly, run `docker-compose up` and Compose will start and run your entire

+A Compose file looks like this:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  web:
+    build: .
+    ports:
+      - "5000:5000"
+    volumes:
+      - .:/code
+  redis:
+    image: redis
+```

+You can find examples of Compose applications in our
+[Awesome Compose repository](https://github.com/docker/awesome-compose).
