Install hipChat on Ubuntu 14.04

ubuntu-hipchat

sudo su
echo "deb http://downloads.hipchat.com/linux/apt stable main" > \  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/atlassian-hipchat.list
wget -O - https://www.hipchat.com/keys/hipchat-linux.key | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install hipchat

Line 2 should be:

echo "deb http://downloads.hipchat.com/linux/apt stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/atlassian-hipchat.list

And it will work perfectly. You only need the \ character when splitting multiple lines.

I can confirm that it works like a breeze. I just tried it on Ubuntu 12 and it's up and running!

I get

Cannot write to ‘-’ (Success).

When running:

 wget -O - https://www.hipchat.com/keys/hipchat-linux.key | apt-key add -

Any another way to avoid activate it?
