[[Distro-agnostic_emulator_packages_for_Linux#Snappy|Snappy packages]] are currently the default method of installing software in Ubuntu, encouraged by Canonical - developers of Ubuntu. Installing snaps is very simple, just open Ubuntu Software app and find your desired emulator from there, confirming installation with your user (or root user) password. No additional configuration is required to install snaps.

==THE GNU/LINUX GUIDE OF EMULATION: *buntu Ubuntu Edition==
__NOTOC__
:<small>'''''Important!''' Like the title says, this guide covers Ubuntu and its derivatives. While you may have lesser or equal success with distributions that use APT (Ubuntu's packaging tool), where there could be relevant information in your case, this guide is not to be used for distributions that use Pacman or YUM. We can't guarantee that repositories here will work with Debian and Ubuntu-based Puppy (like Tahr), but we're not saying it's not possible. Give it a try, and it could work if you know what you're doing. However, distributions like Arch and Fedora use ''completely'' different packaging tools, and <u>thus are obviously guaranteed not to work.</u> Don't give up, though; you can find the same emulators for your distribution somewhere else, either in their official or user-curated repos or by compiling them from source.''</small>
deb <nowiki>http://ppa.launchpad.net/</nowiki><u>ppa:user/ppa-name</u>/ubuntu <u>xenial</u> main
Where instead of <u>xenial</u> for 16.04, you type <u>trusty</u> for 14.04, <u>bionic</u> for 18.04, <u>focal</u> for 20.04, <u>hirsute</u> for 21.04, and <u>cosmicimpish</u> for 1821.10.
You can then see what emulators you have with each repos, and can now install the ones you want.
If the desired emulator isn't found here, you can find more repositories by searching around for "(emulator) launchpad ppa". Check that they have packages for your Ubuntu version (they usually go by the version's name), as some PPAs can be abandoned.
