You don’t. antiX is based on Debian and not Ubuntu. Adding PPAs may break your install.
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

Hi jj1013,
maybe you tell us why you want to use PPA, as AntiX is debian based you can usually find all the software you wish for without risking your install. Please also consider a Flatpack package may be available for your special needs.If you really think you must get something from PPA do heed what anti wrote.
Maybe it will work, but there are quite a lot of differences between Buntu and Antix which is far nearer to Debian..
Make sure you have a full working backup, do not blame the distro if things go wrong.
Do not leave a PPA, testing, experimental repos enabled unless you want to migrate from stable and can cope with problems.

Google search adding repo to synaptic package manager.
All breakage belongs to you, is my way of thinking.
Anti says don’t. So I won’t post a link. Just a hint. If you decide and go ahead. Because it is needed for a small application with not a lot of files to download.
If me. Once the application is installed. I would disable that repo to keep it from updating and breaking something later during a normal scheduled dist-upgrade
on my end. Ubuntu has a places we don’t when they install files. It can be hit or miss sometimes. Funny thing. If ya gotta ask. I recommend don’t do it.You don’t know enough yet.
Sometimes I drive a crooked road to get my mind straight.
