How to install the latest version of Audacity on Ubuntu 16.04


Today we are looking at how to install the latest version of Audacity on Ubuntu via a PPA.  Audacity offers a nightly PPA but not a Stable one, so we are using a valid unofficial one.  I attached the source code of the PPA below so you can check it out if you like, but I trust it.  After you added the PPA you will receive newer versions via your normal system updates.

For an updated blog, based on Ubuntu 18.04 look here: https://www.linuxmadesimple.info/2019/02/how-to-install-latest-version-of.html
