If you are asking how to open YAML files, then you can use some common editors like NotePad++ in windows or vim in linux. If your question is about running the compose yaml file, then run this command from the directory where compose file is residing:

docker-compose -f {compose file name} up

You can avoid -f if your filename is docker-compose.yml
