+OpenKAT is installed in Docker, and therefore Docker must be installed first. The preferred method of installation is through a repository. However, OpenKAT requires a newer version of Docker than what is available in the default ubuntu and debian repositories. That is why you should always use Docker's repository.

 Dependencies are packages required for OpenKAT to work. Run the following commands to install them:
 
+*Debian based systems:*
+
 
 .. code-block:: sh
 
 	$ curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
-	$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs gcc g++ make python3-pip docker-compose

 	$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn
 
+After installing Docker from the Docker repository it might be necessary to create a symlink for the command `docker-compose` as the latest version now uses a space instead of a dash. You can do this with the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+	$ ln -s /usr/libexec/docker/cli/plugins/compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
+
+*RHEL based systems:*

 OpenTelemetry is a way to trace requests through the system. It is used to find out where a request is going wrong and to instrument performance problems. OpenTelemetry is not enabled by default, but can be enabled by uncommenting the environment variable ``SPAN_EXPORT_GRPC_ENDPOINT`` in the ``.env`` file.
 
-The `Jaeger <https://www.jaegertracing.io>`_ tracing system is used to view the traces. It can be enabled by enabling the `Docker Compose profile <https://docs.docker.com/compose/profiles/#enable-profiles>`, for example by running ``docker-compose --profile jaeger up -d`` or using ``export COMPOSE_PROFILES=jaeger`` and then running Make as usual. The Jaeger UI can then be found at http://localhost:16686.
