How to install docker-compose offline?

In situations when installing via pip or as docker container (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) is also not an option, the following option can help:

Download the package in a system with connectivity (replace the needed version as required)

wget https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0/docker-compose-Linux-x86_64

Just rename the package

mv docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 docker-compose

Copy it (ssh) to the required system

To make it executable

sudo mv docker-compose /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
