   Apparently, the version check in some distros can come up without the v in v2
   I also checked on my machine because I have Docker Compose version v5.1.0, and the bash install also fails in the same manner, even with everything working fine in the newer version.
   To fix these cases, the script would need to use a more permissive regex, like:

   # ...
   composeVersion=$(docker compose version || true)
   regex="Docker Compose version v?([25]|[1-9][0-9]+)\."
   
   if [[ ! "$composeVersion" =~ $regex ]]; then
   	builtin echo -e "${start_error}We could not identify Composer V2 or V5 installed.${end_error}"
   # ...
