Not able to install plex media server on 16.04

I have problems with installing the plex media server on Ubuntu 16.04 (i386).

This is what I get when I run the plexmediaserver.service:

This is what I did to install it:

echo deb public main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
curl | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt update
sudo apt install plexmediaserver -y
1 Reset to default
