Package not found!

This commands is for ubuntu for more distributions you can see the official site (opens in a new tab).

If you get an error that one or both packages not found then you have to put the docker repository into the available repositories

Update the apt package index and install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS:

sudo apt-get update
 
sudo apt-get install \
  ca-certificates \
  curl \
  gnupg

Add Docker’s official GPG key:

sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
 
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
 
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

Use the following command to set up the repository:

echo \
  "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

Then you can install the packages normaly through the package manager

sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose
