Please try again from your home network or disabling anit-virus/firewall.

Hi Kanika,

I tried to disable both of them, but still throwing same error.

Are you able to access the above url? Try connecting from your home network or home system if you are using office network/system.

This means your system is blocking the request, it can be your network, firewall or anti-virus.

if you are connected to vpn , disconnect , remove M103 directory , start from scratch again, it works.

In case it’s useful for anyone else, I was caught behind a work proxy. Editing the apt-key line in provision-mongodb to be

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6

That is, replacing the original --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com with --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 avoided the problem for me.
