docker-compose forgotten in the documentation?

I try to use Sail for the first time, I never use Docker before (I'm used to lxc)

I work on Debian 10, installed Docker , and created my first project without pb ( curl -s https://laravel.build/l1 | bash )

But the command : './vendor/bin/sail up' gives me this error ./vendor/bin/sail: line 42: docker-compose: command not found

docker-compose is not present on my system. I found how to install it but I wonder what I missed? Is the doc not updated?

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/installation#getting-started-on-linux

  • If you're developing on Linux and Docker is already installed

should not be?
