For Ubuntu 14.04:

1.5.1 is available on universe repositories

So after enabling universe repositories, It can be installed by following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install stackapplet

But it has bug with adding account so upgrade to 1.5.2 as follows:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stackapplet-dev/stackapplet
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install stackapplet
