sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
Edit the repositories list

Add the following line in the file and save it
deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable
Run APT update again
sudo apt-get update
Finally, install the latest version of Docker Community Edition, containerd, and docker-compose
