3. Add Docker Repository
Add the GPG key for the official Docker repository to your system to ensure downloads are valid.
```Bash
curl -fsSL [https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg](https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg) | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
```
Add the Docker repository to your APT sources.
```Bash
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] [https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu](https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu) $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

```Bash

⚙ Post-Installation Configuration
Run Docker Without Sudo (Optional)
By default, the docker command can only be run by the root user or by a user in the docker group. To avoid typing sudo for every command, add your current user to the docker group.
Add your user to the docker group:
```Bash
sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
```
Apply the new group membership (requires logging out or running the following):
```Bash
su - ${USER}
```
Verify that your user is added to the group:
```Bash
groups
```
Output should look like: sammy sudo docker
✅ Verification
Check that Docker is running correctly.
```Bash
sudo systemctl status docker
```
To verify that you can pull images from Docker Hub, run the "Hello World" container:
```bash
docker run hello-world
```
If successful, you will see a message indicating that your installation appears to be working correctly.
