Add a Personal Package Archive (PPA)
|
|
</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>Personal Package Archives (PPAs)</em> are software repositories designed
|
|
for Ubuntu users and are easier to install than other third-party
|
|
repositories. PPAs are often used to distribute pre-release software so that it can be tested.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<note style="warning">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Only add software repositories from sources that you trust!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Third-party software repositories are not checked for security or
|
|
reliability by Ubuntu members, and may contain software which is harmful
|
|
to your computer.
