Nginx will not install. The code in the 2nd code block in the exercise that runs "az vm extension set" does not run the code that is contained in the script.

    I cant see it now because the sandbox closed. But there was no error. I copied the command provided in the tutorial and I got the status message saying it was running. Then it produced some JSON looking text but when I tried to use the bash command apt-get update it didnt work. If the command is wrong my apologies, I used verbatim what was in the tutorial but i may have misremembered it when typing this. It said the command didnt exist.
