how to wget https on ubuntu?

Question

I am wanting to try installing a hosted reddit:
I just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 on VirtualBox.
Then i tried to run:
$ wget https://raw.github.com/reddit/reddit/master/install-reddit.sh from the built in shell (ash) that begins lines with (initramfs)
But it tells me "not an http or ftp url"
In the installation process i also installed postgresql db..
i also tried on http, but it tells me "bad address raw.github.com"
What did i do wrong? Or how do i properly wget this script?

Answer 1

I hadn't installed DNS. Silly mistake.

During the Server Edition installation you have the option of installing additional packages from the CD. The packages are grouped by the type of service they provide.

1. DNS server: Selects the BIND DNS server and its documentation.
