Hello all, to make it easier for people, this is all you need to install bitshares:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:showard314/bitshares
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install bitshares
If you want the command line interface only (CLI, e.g. if you are running a headless server):
$ sudo apt-get install bitshares-cli
instead of
$ sudo apt-get install bitshares
You will then have a bitshares icon in your application search (dash) or from command line:
$ BitShares
and/or the CLI:
$ bitshares_client
all the utilities are installed as well, but if they're not needed I can cut them out for space later.

(I have two since we're not allowed to raise payrates to remain competitive in the market, which I mistakenly did not know when I made the first one)
Please post bugs/problems here.
Note:
Since there are no such thing as "official" binaries any more [1], the PPA is as official as you can get. They were uploaded by a delegate, the source code used to build the packages is signed with a GPG key in the debian-keyring and is inspectable on the launchpad site. The binaries built from the GPG code are signed by with the PPA key and will be verified by apt when you download and install. This is the same system bitcoin uses for distribution, as well as mozilla, libreoffice, wine, and several others.
