Install Docker oneliner script
Neat!
Thx
Does the curl command also install compose along with it?

Compose is part of Docker now, but it's docker compose as opposed to docker-compose
wget -O- get.docker.com | bash
Thanks you @moonheart 🚀
Since Docker targets sh for their script, you can do this even more portable:
wget -O- get.docker.com | sh (by @moonheart) or curl -fsSL get.docker.com | sh (by @exil0867)
Also, there is a --dry-run key which would show all commands (but not run them!) that Docker installation script would execute for your system.

I don't think there is a need for
-o, you can just directly pipe the script into bash using$ curl -fsSL get.docker.com | bashIt's shorter and easier to memorize.
But you shouldn't use it if for security reasons you need to inspect the script before executing it.
