So I am trying to install webmin on an Ubuntu 16.04 amazon ec2 instance. I have apache2, php7, mariadb already installed. I have been using http://www.htpcbeginner.com/how-to-install-webmin-on-ubuntu/ guide and everything has gone fine until the apt-get install when I get this error.
Virtualmin only supports Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS. If you don’t have those versions of Ubuntu, Virtualmin will fail to install If you do, then continue below. How To Install Webmin on Ubuntu 16.04 In this tutorial we will show you how to install and configuration Webmin on Ubuntu 16.04. For those of you who didn’t know, Webmin is a free control Panel for managing VPS.
Any ideas?

for Apt to pick it up as a package source file.- Rename the file:
- Update the package list based on the modified package sources:
- Install the

package:

In this tutorial we will show you how to install and configuration Webmin on Ubuntu 16.04. For those of you who didn’t know, Webmin is a free control Panel for managing VPS. Webmin is a web based interface which is used to manage VPS web hosting server. With the help of webmin you can setup user account, apache, dns and file sharing and other actions. Webmin very suitable for beginners who do not know much about the unix or linux command line.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo’ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step by step installation Webmin on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) server.
