Docker installation on Linux Mint 19.2 doesn't work


Just got a fresh Linux mint 19.2 installed, i needed docker so i went to the docker doc and followed the process.

https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

everything went well until step 4 of the repository set up.

on the 4 step it says "Malformed input, repository not added."

I've changed "$(lsb_release -cs)" to "tina" and "tara" still doesn't work.

the 4th step to set up the repository:

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


Solution

  • sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list
    

    add the following line in the file

    deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable
    

    then,

    sudo apt update
    

    you know the rest of the steps. Good luck!
