How to fix failed to execute script docker compose error on windows 7

Question

Hi. I'm using docker on windows 7 and when I run the docker-compose up command, I get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

@Rahul, 

Have you gone through @Omkar's solution!! I hope that will help you to resolve your issue.

Answer 1

It seems like the container is not built properly. Try 

$ docker build 

command followed by 

$ docker-compose up 

(run the cmd with admin privileges)

If that does not work, check if you have the latest docker compose and if you don't, upgrade it and run the commands again.

How to update docker-compose?

---

Hey @Rashmi, try this:

$ sudo apt-get update docker-compose

---

Thanks for the command @John but this command is not working. I executed this command and I got no error but when I checked the version, it shows the same version.

---

@Rashmi,

Maybe you already have the latest version installed. That's why even after running the command, you have the same version. What version of docker-compose are you using?

---

No, I don't have the latest version. The latest version is 1.24.0 but I have version 1.10.0.

---

I used pip to upgrade it. Command:

$ pip install docker-compose

---

Run this command.

docker build -t mytag .
