I have to install bitcoin core to use op_return library. But I have difficulties to install correctly bitcoin core.

First I run the command sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

Second I enter this command: apt-get update

But I have error :

 Err http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main amd64 Packages                
 Err http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main amd64 Packages

404  Not Found

 W: Failed to fetch http:/ppa.launchpad.net/bitcoin/bitcoin/ubuntu/dists/jessie/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

 E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

So when I want to do this : apt-get install bitcoin-qt I have : E: Unable to locate package bitcoin-qt

What can I do?

The repository is for ubuntu and you're on debian.
So it doesn't have packages for jessie.
Use this instead: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md
Hope this helps! :)
