Issues installing driver for Astromechanics focuser was created by mike zamborsky

Hi all. Trying to install drivers for the Astromechanics focuser and am running into many issues. I'm following the instructions from here indilib.org/devices/focusers/astromechan...lens-controller.html which look pretty simple but not so much in reality.

I need to add the repository but when I do it errors out. The command to add the repository is

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa

Which results in this.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 95, in <module>
    sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 109, in __init__
    self.reload_sourceslist()
