# podman# linux

Issue:

  • Given: Installed podman-compose package from the default repository of Ubuntu desktop 24.04

  • Every executed command, the output always brings debug mode like this:

podman-compose version: 1.0.6
['podman', '--version', '']
using podman version: 4.9.3
...
...
exit code: 0

Solve:

  • Remove the package: apt remove podman-compose

  • Manually install the binary from the GitHub release

curl -o /usr/local/bin/podman-compose https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containers/podman-compose/main/podman_compose.py

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/podman-compose
