    That doesn’t make any sense to me. It can be installed directly from pacman. It may be something silly like adding docker to your user group. Have you done something like below for docker?

    1. Update the package index:

    sudo pacman -Syu

    1. Install required dependencies:

    sudo pacman -S docker

    1. Enable and start the Docker service:
    sudo systemctl enable docker.service
    sudo systemctl start docker.service
    
    1. Add your user to the docker group to run Docker commands without sudo:

    sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

    1. Log out and log back in for the group changes to take effect.

      Verify that Docker CE is installed correctly by running:

    docker --version

    If you get the above working docker compose is just

    sudo pacman -S docker-compose

      I didnt start docker and didn’t add it to my user group. Maybe this will fix it.

      sudo pacman -S docker-compose

      I did all the steps you mentioned and now it works(at least if use sudo to run the commands).

        I thought it would. If it still requires sudo to run it is probably just docker wanting your user account added to the docker group. If the “docker” group doesn’t exist you can safely create it.

        You will likely need to log out and log back in for the system to recognize the new group permissions.
