Nginx – Can’t add nginx latest version app repository in ubuntu 14.04

nginxUbuntu

Ubuntu installs nginx 1.4.6 as default. I'm trying to install the lastest stable version of nginx (1.6.2). So here it says:

you need to add Ubuntu PPA repository to get latest stable version of
Nginx on your system. use the below commands to do it.

# Add repository to your system
# magesh@magesh-desktop:~$ add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/$nginx

But when I try this command it throws error:

Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:nginx/'.
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.

How can I solve it?

Thanks

Replace $nginx with stable :

add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
apt-get update
apt-get install nginx
