[Live-demo] Iris draft installer

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the information.
Yes, it would be great to update the Iris install script to use this ppa.

Regarding QGIS and Sahana, we need to run through the quickstarts and 
check if those can be completed without errors.

Best regards,
Angelos
