PPA
Stable release
We are continually finding new ways that firmware can be broken, and hence fwts is continually being improved to detect firmware issues. Every release cycle a stable version of fwts is uploading into Universe and occasional updates appear as bug fix releases. However, a PPA is provided containing more up-to-date version of fwts.
The stable PPA contains more stable updates, generally code that has been tested for quite a while and is thus less likely to contain new features that cause breakage. To install from this PPA use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:firmware-testing-team/ppa-fwts-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fwts
Documentation
Firmware Test Suite Live Image (fwts-live)

Snap for FWTS
fwts snap is also supported, https://snapcraft.io/fwts/releases
- FWTS snap needs full access to system resources, such as ACPI tables, so it should be installed with devmode confinement as below,
$sudo snap install --beta --devmode fwts
$sudo su
