Before installing docker on ubuntu, lets update and install docker dependencies using apt-get command as below.


congo@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update

Once you have updated your packages index and installed docker dependencies, lets enable docker repository and deploy the official docker GPG key.

congo@ubuntu:~$


Once GPG key is added, we can enable the official docker repository for Ubuntu as below using add-apt-repository command.


congo@ubuntu:~$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"


Output:
