Built (Launched) Ubuntu server 64bit lts 12.04 from the amazon ec2 marketing place

ssh into the instance then

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rquillo/ansible

appeared to work correctly

…  
gpg: key 5504681D: public key “Launchpad PPA for Rodney Quillo” imported  
gpg: Total number processed: 1  
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)

then

sudo apt-get install ansible  
Reading package lists… Done  
Building dependency tree  
Reading state information… Done  
**E: Unable to locate package ansible**

What am I doing wrong? I usually run ansible from a mac os x system (and love it) and am not ubuntu experienced.

thanks.

​looks like you forgot to 'sudo apt-get update​'

Thanks that worked. That what happens when a developer tries to be a sys admin.
