How to Add PPA to Software Source?

Asked by Navin Talati

I want to install Psensor. As a part of its procedure it is recommended
to add "ppa:jfi/ppa" to Software Sources, update and then search for and
instal "psensor" from USC. (See Para as under)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The para:-
"Download
Psensor is available for Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04. Standalone .deb
installers can be downloaded @ wpitchoune.net/psensor/files/ubuntu/
A PPA is also available for the same set of Ubuntu versions, however the most recent
release is only available for Ubuntu 11.04.
Add ‘ppa:jfi/ppa’ to your Software Sources, update and then search for and install
‘psensor’ from the Ubuntu Software Centre."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My question is:-
HOW TO DO THIS?
Please guide me and oblige.
