These instructions have worked for me on Ubuntu 17.04

Install the go ethereum client (geth)

$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum 
$ sudo apt-get update 
S sudo apt-get install ethereum 

Note: The 'ethereum' package was not found so i installed unstable instead. Try to install ethereum first and if that does not work then try 'ethereum-unstable'
