In this Docker Tutorials, we will explain the steps to install Docker on Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 (LTS).
OS requirements
To install Docker Engine – Community, we have taken 64-bit version Ubuntu versions 18.04
- Eoan 19.10
- Bionic 18.04 (LTS)
- Xenial 16.04 (LTS)

Command to uninstall old Docker versions from Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get remove docker* docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
[box type=”info” align=”” class=”” width=””]You can ignore if you get output “none of these packages are installed”, which says that the package is not installed.[/box]
The Docker Engine – Community package is now called docker-ce
Steps to Install Docker on Ubuntu
There are different ways you can install Docker on Ubuntu:
- Setup Docker Repository – This method is very useful for installing and upgrading the Docker version. (Recommend)
- Download DEB package and install it manually. This method is used when you are not allowed to provide internet access on your Ubuntu server)
- Automated Script to install Docker (Not recommended for Production)

Steps to Install Docker on Ubuntu using Docker Repository on Ubuntu:

Step 1. Update the apt package index:
$ sudo apt-get update
Sample Output:
root@docker-setup:/home/ubuntu# sudo apt-get update Hit:1 http://ap-south-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease Hit:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease Hit:3 http://ap-south-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease Hit:4 http://ap-south-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports InRelease Reading package lists... Done root@docker-setup:/home/ubuntu#
Step 2. Install packages to use a repository over HTTPS for apt:
$ sudo apt-get install \ apt-transport-https \ ca-certificates \ curl \ gnupg-agent \ software-properties-common
[ads2]
Sample Output:
root@docker-setup:/home/ubuntu# sudo apt-get install \ > apt-transport-https \ > ca-certificates \ > curl \ > gnupg-agent \ > Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done ca-certificates is already the newest version (20180409). ca-certificates set to manually installed. curl is already the newest version (7.58.0-2ubuntu3.8). curl set to manually installed. The following NEW packages will be installed: apt-transport-https gnupg-agent 0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 57 not upgraded. Need to get 6572 B of archives. After this operation, 196 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue?

Step 7: Verify that Docker Engine running correctly with hello-world image
$ sudo docker run hello-world
Sample output:
root@docker-setup:/home/ubuntu# sudo docker run hello-world Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally latest: Pulling from library/hello-world 1b930d010525: Pull complete Digest: sha256:fc6a51919cfeb2e6763f62b6d9e8815acbf7cd2e476ea353743570610737b752 Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
Step 8: Command to check Docker version:
$ docker -v
root@docker-setup:/home/ubuntu# docker -v Docker version 19.03.7, build 7141c199a2 root@docker-setup:/home/ubuntu#

Steps to download Docker DEB package and install manually
This is the another method or steps to Install Docker on Ubuntu.
[ads1]
Step 1: Download DEB package for Ubuntu
Choose your Ubuntu version and download DEB package from link
Command to check Ubuntu release:
$ lsb_release -cs
Sample Output:
root@docker-setup:/home/ubuntu# lsb_release -cs bionic root@docker-setup:/home/ubuntu#
Download on your ubuntu server using curl command or you can download from the browser and copy on the Ubuntu server.
Step 2: Command to install Docker DEB package on Ubuntu
$ sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb
Docker daemon starts automatically.
Step 3: Verify that Docker Engine running properly with the hello-world image
