### Add ppa
```shell
➜  ~ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp-edge  
[sudo] password for patrick: 
You are about to add the following PPA:
 Attention!

This is a PPA only for development purposes!!!

There'll be no new packages for obsolete Ubuntu versions anymore and will not accept new uploads:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
Sorry but that's the way live goes.

Are you running Trusty? If so be aware I'm not be able build gegl packages since some weeks.
The reason is: gegl from git needs glib with a version which is too new for trusty. Glib is a very important part of Ubuntu 14.04 so I'cant guarantee the integrity of Ubuntu Trusty - 14.04.
I hope in the next weeks I can build a Snap version.

These packages were built of the development branch of the GIMP. They may be very unstable, and as such should not be used in production. 

To add this PPA open a terminal and type

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp-edge
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

or

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp gimp-gmic e.g.

To revert to stable open a terminal and type
sudo ppa-purge ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp-edge

Before you install ppa-purge
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
