Incorrect Command , Syntax and Path for talawa-api setup for Ubuntu using docker.

[DevyanshuNegi]

The documentation for setting up development containers on Ubuntu contains multiple incorrect command syntax and invalid paths for Docker Compose, leading to errors during setup.

1. The command uses bash sudo which is invalid.
2. The path /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose may not exist, causing "file not found" errors.
3. The inconsistency between Docker Compose v1 and v2 commands isn't addressed, potentially confusing users.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1.Follow the Talawa API Docker Setup Documentation for Ubuntu development setup.
2.Run the following command as instructed in the documentation :
bash sudo /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml up --build

3.Observe the errors, including invalid command usage and path issues.

Expected behavior
The command should correctly start the development environment using Docker Compose without errors, ensuring compatibility with Ubuntu and both Docker Compose v1 and v2.

Actual behavior
The command fails with errors like:

• sudo: /usr/bin/sudo: cannot execute binary file
  -bash: /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose: No such file or directory

Recommended fixes

1. Replace bash sudo /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose with:
   sudo docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml up --build # For v2
   or
   sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml up --build # For v1
2. Add instructions to verify which version of Docker Compose is installed and guide users to use the appropriate command.
3. Include a note on how to install Docker Compose if it's missing.
