while installing i got error in ros error in ubuntu 18.05

Question

while installing ros i get the error

E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list (Component) E: The list of sources could not be read

Could you [edit] your question to include the contents of ros-latest.list? This will make it easier to see why there is a "malformed entry" error. — matigo, Feb 03 '22 at 08:03
Does this answer your question? How do I remove a malformed line from my sources.list? — guiverc, Feb 03 '22 at 08:12
There was no Ubuntu release in 2018-May (ie. 18.05). Major releases are year.month in format, with some specialist releases using the year format; your 18.05 is likely a typo, but ensure you're actually using Ubuntu as there was no May release in 2018. — guiverc, Feb 03 '22 at 08:14

Running the following command will fix this issue:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Here is a bug report for the same.
