How to install specific MySQL version [duplicate]

Question

I have two machines, one local (mine) and one server... both of them have MySQL installed, but for some reason they use different MySQL versions, although the installation process was exactly the same.

When I run mysql --version in my machine I see:

mysql  Ver 8.0.18-0ubuntu0.19.10.1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))

But in my server I see:

mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.28, for Linux (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper

Because they are different, I can't restore the dump of one into the other. Would it be possible to specify a version when installing mysql?

Thank you.
