How To: Enable PPAs With Elementary OS

Elementary, like Debian and some other Debian derivatives, doesn’t support PPAs out of the box. In order to use them, you’ll have to install `software-properties-common`.

Open your terminal with CTRL + ALT + T and simply enter the following:

Once you’ve done that, you can add PPAs in the normal way. For example, this is a LibreOffice PPA:

[code]]czo0MzpcInN1ZG8gYWRkLWFwdC1yZXBvc2l0b3J5IHBwYTpsaWJyZW9mZmljZS9wcGFcIjt7WyYqJl19[[/code] About Me: I'm just some retired dude with a little bit more free time on my hands. If you want to support the site, why not help yourself out too by ordering some inexpensive web hosting so that you can start your own site?
