I'm trying to install Tor manually on Ubuntu 18.04 bionic beaver using this guide: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-tor-browser-in-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
When I try to verify my signature key it says, No public Key, Checkout the error below

gpg --verify tor-browser-linux64-8.0.6_en-US.tar.xz.asc tor-browser-linux64-8.0.6_en-US.tar.xz
gpg: Signature made و 18:27:41 PKT ت 12 فروری 2019
gpg:                using RSA key EB774491D9FF06E2
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key

Any help will be appreciated.

Check out the Tor Project's signing keys page for more info.

If you followed that tutorial exactly, then you imported a single developer's signing key, but this is not the key used to sign the browser releases.

The output you supplied shows that the actual signing key is EB774491D9FF06E2, which shows up on the Tor PGP keys page.

To properly verify, import the correct signing key:

gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys EB774491D9FF06E2

Then you should be able to verify the package's signature using --verify.

curl -s https://openpgpkey.torproject.org/.well-known/openpgpkey/torproject.org/hu/kounek7zrdx745qydx6p59t9mqjpuhdf |gpg --import -
