      When following thses directions exactly I got this error message on the first command:

      wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb
      –2013-11-25 22:49:24– http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb

      Resolving archive.getdeb.net (archive.getdeb.net)… failed: Name or service not known.
      wget: unable to resolve host address ‘archive.getdeb.net’

      Resolved by copy/pasting url into browser and downloading .deb file, then typing commands in terminal after download was complete. This worked. Thank you!
