A Debian PPA is planned, but does not exist yet. In the meantime, you can get the latest releases of Kiwix software from the official Debian repositories (though it may take 5-7 days after a release). You will need to [https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ enable the Debian backports repository], and then you should be able to <code>sudo apt install <package></code> (the names are the same as Ubuntu).
