$ sudo dnf remove podman buildah

3. Finally, we can install the three Docker packages we'll need by executing the following command.

$ sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

4. Once installation is completed, start the Docker service and, optionally, enable it to run whenever the system is rebooted:

$ sudo systemctl start docker.service
$ sudo systemctl enable docker.service

5. You can verify that Docker is installed and gather some information about the current version by entering this command:

$ sudo docker version
