Hello guys

Im a recently new user on chef and vagrant so im just exploring and i would like to start making a small projet with 2 VMs with web servers on them, and a reverse proxy. Im following the guides on the Chef website which are very detailed and helpfull but i keep getting an error.

[https://learn.chef.io/modules/learn-the-basics/ubuntu/virtualbox/configure-a-package-and-service#/](https://learn.chef.io/modules/learn-the-basics/ubuntu/virtualbox/configure-a-package-and-service#/)

Im trying to install apache2 on my first webserver but i get this error:

```auto
Recipe: @recipe_files::/Users/iVic/Desktop/Projets/Reseau/DAISY/chef-repo/webserver.rb
  * apt_update[Update the apt cache daily] action periodic (up to date)

Are you sure you are running this tutorial on a Ubuntu server? It looks like you are trying to run it on a Mac.
