Are you running an up-to-date version of Raspbian Wheezy? Can you put here the output of the above mentioned command and the error message of the command which fails?

After waiting for the ~$ prompt i typed
sudo apt-key add /tmp/rex.pub

the error said
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found

Downloading of the certificate in the previous step probably failed. What is the output of

sudo wget -O /tmp/rex.pub https://www.rexcontrols.cz/media/keys/rex-debian-key.pub

?

Can you

ping www.rexcontrols.cz

?

If not, can you

ping 8.8.8.8

?

Did you add our packages repository to /etc/apt/sources.list (step 5 to 7)?
Did you run sudo apt-get update (step 12)?

Can you copy-paste the output here? Or upload a printscreen?

You need to add the package repository to /etc/apt/sources.list, not /etc/apt/source.list.
