Hi everyone,

I have just launched my first EC2 instance and choosed a Ubuntu image to start from, since it's quite well documented.

However, I am trying to install the Redis package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/redis-server

Maybe I am not googling properly or just stupid since the weekend is approaching, but I'll keep getting errors:

root@ip-10-229-123-199:~# sudo apt-get install redis-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package redis-server

I'll assume that I need to add a repository or something to Ubuntu to help it find the package I want, but how do I do it? I can only find graphical guides which doesnt help me too much since I am using SSH.

Thanks alot!
