How to install Docker in Ubuntu

While installing Docker Desktop using the command in Ubuntu sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.deb I’m getting bash: version: No such file or directory' error.

The log is –
sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.deb

But the Docker Engine has been configured successfully.

Running docker --version I am getting

    You can use the apt:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install 
    ca-certificates 
    curl 
    gnupg 
    lsb-release

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

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

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin

    When you read the page at https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/ubuntu/ and it says

    sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.deb

    it actually means that you should insert the current values for the placeholders that are <version> and <arch>. This could be something like 20.10.16~3 and amd64, it will depend on what is in their repo at the time.

    The error you got from bash, namely bash: version: No such file or directory' error is a side-effect of the < and > having special meaning to bash so it saw a redirect. The error was local to your computer though.
