Install Docker Compose on Ubuntu 16.04

Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your application’s services. Then, using a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.

Compose is great for development, testing, and staging environments, as well as CI workflows.
