    Run the following in your terminal,

     sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3C962022012520A0 
 sudo apt-get update

    References: How do I fix the GPG error "NO_PUBKEY"?

    You need to replace the key (3C962022...) with the one that is displayed in the error message in the terminal.

  2. When you add a third-party repository, you should also add its key to your system. The public key is a string which identifies that certain repository. You can find some more information on this and how to add the key here.
