Research direction

Start with install_on_linux.sh and the documented Compose plugin installation location; reproduce the failure when the script runs as root while Compose v2 is installed for the user. Done means the documented installation path and the script work together without a silent failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The documentation says for the compose plugin to be installed into the users .docker folder. However the install_on_linux.sh script has to be run as root to allow for file creation in /usr/local/bin

The root user however doesn't have compose v2 installed, and the install script then fails (without any output).
