Make sure you have the package python-software-properties installed.

thanks that got it fixed but now I need to figure out how to copy a .jar file that is in the downloads folder of my mac, to the server via ssh.... and i have no idea where to start (the name of the file is Minecraft_server.jar)

I don't use Macs at all, but they just have their own implementation of ssh, right? So you should be able to use scp

Basic usage would be something like

scp Minecraft_server.jar user@linuxhost.com:/home/user

If you prefer a GUI, you can also use pretty much any ftp program, like Filezilla to connect over ssh.
