Any idea how to install docker-compose on Linux RHEL.
I followed below steps
sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install -y python-pip
sudo pip install docker-compose
sudo yum upgrade python*
I am getting below message when trying to check its version (docker-compose -version)
Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Any idea about this issue or I make mistake in installation?
RHEL6 and Centos6 most commonly use ancient docker-1.7.1 as installed with yum. It's only compatible with docker-compose-1.5.2 (or older), for which you can still (as of 2018) download a compiled binary:
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.5.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
ldd /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffffaed8000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f9d5e0c3000)
libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007f9d5dead000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9d5db19000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9d5e2c7000)
Remember, your docker-compose.yml is limited to syntax version 1. Although that link says docker 1.7.1 is unsupported, it will work; I use it without problems.
RHEL 6 is not recommended and not supported for Docker use.
There was many addition made to recent version of Linux kernels that allows Docker, but they are missing on RHEL 6 because it is designed to be an enterprise system with very long term support (10 years).
Simply put it is too old, and Red Hat themselves aren't porting Docker on it.
I doubt that the problem is with the installation. Still, you can refer to this web-page.
According to the error you are getting, seems like there's some issue with the file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/docker/models/containers.py.
Why don't you check if there had been some modifications in that file. Otherwise you can clean install the docker-compose using the github repository.
