Never mind guys the ubuntu was 16 and not 14. So a learning point check your OS version first. Installation worked fine on Ubuntu 14.

Hey Pankaj,

I am also trying the same. I got it successfully installed in one AWS server with following OS version:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

However I am getting the “E: Unable to locate package couchbase-server” message in another server with following OS configuration:

Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

Try on 14. I never got success with 16.
