Install Herobu Toolbelt on Ubuntu through a proxy server

Question

I am trying to install Heroku Toolbelt on a Ubuntu machine that connects to the Internet through a proxy. I am new to Ubuntu and its settings, but I managed to connect to the Internet. The internet seems to work just fine, just looking and getting updates via apt-get is always successful, and the curl commands return the expected.

When I try to run a command on the Heroku Toolbelt website:

wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh 

I get some errors:

 me@mypc-vb :~/Documents/stuff$ wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh This script requires superuser access to install apt packages. You will be prompted for your password by sudo.

The most noticeable mistake is probably just

 Resolving toolbelt.heroku.com... failed: Name or service not know. 

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I had the same problem when installing the heroku dashboard behind a proxy:

The core of the problem is this:

 GPG error: http://toolbelt.heroku.com ./ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C927EBE00F1B0520 

You will notice that the next time you run apt-get update, you will receive the same message. It seems that ubuntu cannot use the heroku package repository public key.

To deal with this, you can manually connect the public key as described here: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/809-debian-apt-get-no-pubkey-gpg-error

 gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key C927EBE00F1B0520 gpg -a --export C927EBE00F1B0520 | sudo apt-key add - 

After that, installing the script will work fine.
