# Installing ppas
Before you can install your first ppa, you have to install python-software-properties so you can get add-apt-repository
```
apt-get install python-software-properties
```
Now you can try to add a ppa repository, e.g.
```
add-apt-repository ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install gstreamer1.0*
```
And you may find the following very handy
```
apt-file search <something in some package>
```
as it will list the packages which may provide the operand.
