Installing Elasticsearch 7.17

I am trying to reinstall the elasticsearch same version on ubuntu 20.04 but I am getting the below error again and again. I have tried almost all the solution given on google but the error was not resolved. Previously same version was running fine. Then I thought to upgrade it to 8.9 but I started getting the same error in reinstalling the elasticsearch after removing it.

Error:

sudo apt-get install elasticsearch

Please help me out to resolve it.
