Using docker-compose in the CI GitLab pipeline

Question

I am trying to implement a GitLab continuous integration pipeline (CI) with the following file .gitlab-ci.yml:

image: docker:latest

# When using dind, it wise to use the overlayfs driver for
# improved performance.
variables:
  DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay

services:
  - docker:dind

before_script:
  - docker info
  - curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.10.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
  - chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
  - export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
  - echo $PATH

stages:
  - build
  - test

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - docker-compose build
    - docker-compose up -d

test:
  stage: test
  script:
    - cd tests/tester
    - pytest test_run_tester.py
  except:
    - /^.*skip_tests$/

However, the following error message appears in GitLab:

/bin/sh: eval: line 51: docker-compose: not found
ERROR: Build failed: exit code 127

The system does not seem to be able to find docker-compose, even after installing it and adding it to the path. Perhaps there is another image such that commands docker-composecan be executed, or another way to set it to .gitlab-ci.yml?
