sudo pacman -S docker docker-compose

Step 4: Change Directory and Run Homer

Now, navigate into the Homer folder which was cloned in Step 2 and run the following Docker-compose command to start Homer:

cd homer
sudo docker-compose up -d

Homer should now be running on your machine. You can access it by visiting http://localhost in your web browser.
