This tutorial shows how to install Polly Twitter Client via PPA in Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 12.04, Linux Mint 13/14/15/16 and Elementary OS.

Polly is an open source Linux Twitter client designed for multiple columns of multiple accounts. It is now at version 0.93.11 (pre-alpha 3.11).

Most notable in this release is the addition of the beautiful Numix icon theme, but there are also fixes for Fedora packaging, some link optimizations, and the addition of an internal keyring module to avoid incompatibility with recent distros.

Install Polly via PPA:

Press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run command below to add the Polly PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:conscioususer/polly-daily

After that, update package lists and install this client:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y polly

Once installed, open polly from Unity Dash.
