Having Trouble Typing My Password in Terminal for Docker Installation

Asked By CuriousPineapple42 On

I'm using Pop!_OS and I'm trying to install Docker via the terminal. However, when I run the command and it prompts me for my password, I'm unable to type it in. The terminal displays a message saying, "to run a command as an administrator (user 'root'), use 'sudo '". Even after restarting the terminal and entering 'sudo' first, I encounter a 'bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'' error. Any insights on how to fix this?

Hey! First, it would help to know the exact command you're trying to run. Also, which terminal emulator are you using? Is it Gnome Terminal or something else? Just clarify that, and we can troubleshoot better.

I suggest trying the command 'sudo visudo' again but make sure to check for any typos. If it's not doing anything, you might want to install Docker through another method, like using the official script from their site. Let me know how it goes!
