<title>
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.
