Adding this repository with
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:whatsapp-purple
Then updating the list with
sudo apt-get update
reveals that there is no whatsapp-purple in that repository. Only available repository was pidgin-whatsapp. You can Install it with
sudo apt-get install pidgin-whatsapp
You can't install because that PPA only has the pidgin-whatsapp application.
Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:whatsapp-purple/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pidgin-whatsapp
Once installed, go ahead and run it, using the Pidgin Internet Messenger entry, and choose Whatsapp from the list. see image below.

I have installed pidgin-whatsapp and logged in. It receives messages but does not send anything. I wanted to test whatsapp-purple instead. Jun 27, 2015 at 7:04
