An error is produced when trying to install Mutate with apt on Ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mutate/ppa

works fine, but the next step fails:

$ sudo apt update
Ign:16 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mutate/ppa/ubuntu xenial InRelease
# ...
Err:21 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mutate/ppa/ubuntu xenial Release
  404  Not Found
# ...
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/mutate/ppa/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I’m on Ubuntu 16.04.

There is no package for xenial see http://ppa.launchpad.net/mutate/ppa/ubuntu/dists/ Try with vivid or lower versions. Update your apt manually and it should work.

You can get xenial build from https://github.com/qdore/Mutate/issues/136#issuecomment-269070483 @kleinfreund

Then the installation instructions are not up-to-date as this is not noted in the readme.

The one I suggested above is not the official package (I assume) and needs to be tested well. Maybe you should try to send PRs with your updated instructions and could be handy for others.
