How to add a ppa from a launchpad link

Question

How can I add this ppa:

to Ubuntu by a command?

So given a launchpad link how can I created the appropriate command?

@kos: That post does not talk about how to find the code from the link. — Minimus Heximus, Nov 04 '15 at 07:29
Your question doesn't ask how to find the code from the link, it asks "how to add this ppa to Ubuntu by a command", and that is what the answer you accepted is about, the name of the PPA is there only incidentally. Not meaning to be harsh, but really you didn't see the (pretty big) "Adding this PPA to your system" paragraph on the link? — kos, Nov 04 '15 at 07:37
Also it does talk about how to find the code from the link. Quoting the accepted answer: "You have to enter the PPA in the box. It can be found in BOLD on the launchpad page.", and here's the picture below that: http://i.stack.imgur.com/A7osv.png — kos, Nov 04 '15 at 07:42

Where **** is the name of the package that you wish to install.
