Hi,

I am installing a fresh ansible tower on my localhost on ubuntu 16.04LTS. This is my first experience with the tower.

When I run the setup.sh script, I get this error,

It is on this task,

\< TASK [packages\_ubuntu : install apt repository keys] \>

Below is the error,

failed: [localhost] (item={u’url’: u’[https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc’](https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc%27)}) =\> {“failed”: true, “item”: {“url”: “[https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc](https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc)”}, “msg”: “Failed to download key at [https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc](https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc): An unknown error occurred: ~/.netrc file owner (luvpreet) does not match current user (root) (/home/luvpreet/.netrc, line 2)”}

What is the possible reason for this and the solution ?
