In the OS requirements to "Getting Docket for Ubuntu", the docs state x86_64 is a supported architecture:

However, when it is time to add an apt-get repository (Install using the repository / Setup the repo / step #4), the choices become "amd64", "armhf" and "s390x".

For somebody without a background in architecture nomenclature and history, it is unclear which choice they should pick if they have an "x86_64" system.

Possible quick fix: change the header in step #4 to "amd64 and x86_64".
