Short story short:

Have added rep via terminal:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:knapsu/openxcom

 updated, then did:

  sudo apt-get install openxcom

and have this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package openxcom
:(

Help me, powerful and splendid All !

Knappsu did not make a package for Ubuntu 16.04.

I recommend installing it from github directly.
With ubuntu 16.04 you will also have to manually install libYAML from github, because they deliver the wrong version.

EDIT: you may wanna read THIS

General Linux install procedure can be found HERE and HERE

Have fun :)
