Install newer version of a software

#1 Post by pironman »

Hello to everyone.
I have Octave 4.0.3 installed on Debian stretch. I found a bug in print function, and I know that bug was fixed in the 4.2 version. The problem is that in debian, 4.0 version is the last stable.
How can I install the 4.2 version via repository?

Thank you

Check if it is in Stretch backports repo. If it's not, have fun compiling it from source.
Good learning experience, too.
