<ulink url="https://launchpad.net/">Launchpad</ulink> provides all users with their own Personal Package Archive (PPA) that can be used to build and store Ubuntu packages. In the same way that you can add a normal software repository, you can also add a PPA to the package manager's list of available repositories. PPAs work like normal Ubuntu archives. You can install software in the usual way -- for example, through apt-get or synaptic -- and whenever there's an update Ubuntu will prompt you to install it.

You download and install PPA packages at your own risk. Ubuntu, Launchpad and Canonical do not endorse these packages. You must be certain that you trust the PPA owner before you install their software.

The APT line for the PPA can be found on the PPA overview page on Launchpad, and should look similar to the following:

As a security measure, all PPAs use a unique GPG key to digitally sign the packages that they provide. This makes it easy to check that the packages have not been tampered with since Launchpad built them and to be sure that you are downloading from the PPA that you want. In order for your package manager to be able to check this, you need the public key that corresponds to the signatures. The key should be available for download on the PPA overview page on Launchpad. Until you add the PPA's key to your system, you will see warnings that you are downloading from an untrusted source.
