Try this one and see if that works for you > https://bitzuma.com/posts/getting-started-with-bitcoin-core-on-ubuntu/
It is for the Ubuntu 18.04 system. I don't use Ubuntu myself so I can't offer any advice but I am sure some other members will step in and offer more help if you run into issues along the way.

Hmm the best guide is the doc, isn't it ? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#ubuntu--debian. Seems pretty straightforward, install the deps, clone and compile. Ask a question here if you have a problem ;-).

You can fix problem "command not found" by installing software-properties-common with command

Code:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

Then all you need to do is follow the guide.

Looks like OP is beginner on Linux, so i think compiling from source code isn't best idea.
