### [Install using the `apt` repository](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/#install-using-the-repository)

Before you install Docker Engine for the first time on a new host machine, you need to set up the Docker `apt` repository. Afterward, you can install and update Docker from the repository.

1. Set up Docker's `apt` repository.
    
    ```bash
    # Add Docker's official GPG key:
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install ca-certificates curl
    sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
    sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
    sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
    
    # Add the repository to Apt sources:
    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.sources <<EOF
    Types: deb
    URIs: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian
    Suites: $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")
    Components: stable
    Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
    EOF
    
    sudo apt update
    ```

To install the latest version, run:

```console
 sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
```
