In EdgeView versions 15.3.0 and higher, the install-ev.sh script supports the automatic installation and upgrade of Docker and Docker Compose. 

Execute the install-ev.sh script to the most recent/stable versions that are tested to work with EdgeView. To install the latest artifact, refer to Install Docker Engine. Also, refer to Ribbon Support for URLs of these artifacts.

Note

Beginning with Release 16.4.3, the docker-compose command is replaced with the docker compose command (without the hyphen (-)) as EdgeView transitioned to the official native support of "docker compose" in Docker 20.10.13.  All syntax and options for 'docker-compose' remain the same.

Note

Beginning with Release 16.4.4, using the install-ev.sh script to install Docker and Docker Compose is not supported. Hence, customers must set up Docker before installing or upgrading the EdgeView to Release 16.4.4.
