  1. Will this work too for upgrading an existing (and used) 1.7 version?

    .. using apt-get upgrade afterward, instead apt-get install?

    many thx in advance

    • Hello Brian,

      It should work. Try once.

      Given below is man page info for apt-get command –

      upgrade
      upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages
      currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in
      /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new
      versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no
      circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages
      not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of
      currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without
      changing the install status of another package will be left at
      their current version. An update must be performed first so that
      apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available.

  4. Hi Sharad

    Further to my last email, it works if you run the wget command as “sudo”.

    You may want to update your instructions…

    Cheers
