Here i have got an issue on installation of java thourgh PPA Repository on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS server that add-apt-repository command not found or install and I have followed below steps to install this command.
Run the below command for python-software-properties.

Now after that update apt-file.
# sudo apt-get install apt-file
Check the packages add-apt-repository in apt-file
# sudo apt-file search add-apt-repository
OUTPUT :
In the output of the file there is packages which we need to install.
software-properties-common: /usr/bin/add-apt-repository software-properties-common: /usr/share/man/man1/add-apt-repository.1.gz
Now we will install software-properties-common
