Re: Unable to update Octave version in Lubuntu 16?

That's the most stable release for your version.  If you want a more recent version you will have to compile it on your own machine.   A snap version or Appimage would be nice but none have been create that I know of.

  octave is already the newest version (4.0.2-1ubuntu5~octave~xenial1).

Any suggestions for updating my Octave, please?  My system is Lubuntu
16.04.2 LTS (kernel is Linux 4.4.0-72-generic (x86_64)).

Thanks.
