sudo: docker-compose: command not found

I am trying to run docker-compose using sudo. I have both docker and docker-compose installed on Ubuntu 16.01. Due to an error while trying to download compose using curl, I ended up installing it using pip. Docker version 1.12.0, build 8eab29e docker-compose version 1.8.0, build 94f7016 Yet, when I try to run docker-compose with sudo I get the following (using sudo with docker is fine) sudo: docker-compose: command not found I suppose there are differing definitions of what 'installed' means. I have been using docker-compose on the same computer that claims it is not installed. $ dpkg -s docker-compose dpkg-query: package 'docker-compose' is not installed and no information is available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. $ whereis docker-compose docker-compose: /home/user/.local/bin/docker-compose $ pip show --files docker-compose --- Metadata-Version: 2.0 Name: docker-compose Version: 1.8.0 Summary: Multi-container orchestration for Docker Home-page: https://www.docker.com/ Author: Docker, Inc.
