How To Add PPA To Software Sources In Ubuntu Linux From Ubuntu Software Center

PPA or Personal Package Archives allow you to install Ubuntu source packages to be built and published as an apt repository. In other words, adding a PPA to Software Sources, allows installing applications. In this post I will show you how to add a PPA to Software Sources via Ubuntu Software Center to install applications.

Open Ubuntu Software Center and click Edit from the Gnome Panel on top and select Software Sources.

You will be prompted to enter the password, after which a window will pop-up. Select Other Sources tab, click Add button from bottom of the interface and enter the PPA. Click Add Source to continue.

This will add the PPA and install the application via Ubuntu Software Center.
