In addition to what abo-abo suggests, you can also build the sources by yourself:
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git
cd emacs
sudo apt-get build-dep emacs24 # for rpm-based linux: sudo yum-builddep emacs
./configure # if there's no configure script: ./autogen.sh
make # if that fails: make bootstrap
sudo make install
make clean

Is the git repo pointing at times to unstable versions? Shall I go with it or keep it safe and Use abo-abo's PPA ? Commented May 28, 2015 at 16:06

1Yes, lunaryorn, I just added another option to what abo-abo said. Commented May 28, 2015 at 16:07

3I've been running Emacs 25 on one of my laptops, and I've found that it's rock solid when it builds. (It failed to build once, which was fixed within 20 minutes.) Definitely a good choice if you don't need the Debian/Ubuntu integration of the stock packages.– jchCommented May 28, 2015 at 20:28

Use the snapshot:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-elisp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot

Hi abo-abo, could you please have a look this question emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14682/…? Commented Aug 12, 2015 at 9:31
Stable versions (25.1 currently):
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:adrozdoff/emacs
sudo apt update
sudo apt install emacs25
Provided packages for LTS 14.04 and 16.04.

When I try this on LTS 14.04, I got this error:

For those who want to run stable emacs 25.1 on Ubuntu 16.10, I pulled the source package from zenity-proposed and pushed it to my ppa for yakkety, so you can install as follows:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aperomsik/aap-ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emacs25
