-The docker-compose tool enables you to define and run multi-container Docker applications. The packages you will install in this guide use docker-compose to deploy OpenMetadata.
+The Docker `compose` package enables you to define and run multi-container Docker applications. The `compose` command integrates compose functions into the Docker platform, making them available from the Docker command-line interface (CLI). The Python packages you will install in the procedure below use `compose` to deploy OpenMetadata. 
 
-To install `docker-compose`, please follow the instructions at [Install Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
+**MacOS X**: Docker on MacOS X ships with compose already available in the Docker CLI. 
+
+**Linux**: To install compose on Linux systems, please visit the [Docker CLI command documentation](https://docs.docker.com/compose/cli-command/#install-on-linux) and follow the instructions.
+
+To verify that the `docker compose` command is installed and accessible on your system, run the following command.
+
+```bash
+docker compose version
+```
+
+Upon running this command you should see output similar to the following.
+
+```bash
+Docker Compose version v2.1.1

+Note: In previous releases of Docker compose functions were delivered with the `docker-compose` tool. OpenMetadata uses Compose V2. Please see the paragraphs above for instructions on installing Compose V2.
