Scribus 1.5 NG has released both in upstream (developer source code) and in downstream (i.e. PPA repository). Scribus 1.5 for Ubuntu is available for 14.04, 15.04, 15.10, and 16.04. Notice that it doesn't provide 14.10. Although 1.5 is a testing version (a preview for the next 1.6 release), probably you want to test the new features or its stability on an experiment environment (i.e. live session). This guide needs you to open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and perform three commands. You will need internet connection to do it.
