Use a PPA until thenĪ Personal Package Archive (PPA) is a software repository for uploading source packages to be built and published as an Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) repository by Launchpad. The nature of snap package is such that it will get automatically updated to the newest version irrespective of the version of Ubuntu. In that case, version 3 or newer may be available to Ubuntu 16.04. The makers of Calibre (or someone else) may decide to make their software available as a snap package to Ubuntu. It will remain at that version until you upgrade Ubuntu again. At the time of the upgrade, your Calebre will be updated to version 3.21. You may want to upgrade your Ubuntu to 18.04 in about 6 or 7 month's time when the upgrade option will appear in your Ubuntu 16.04 system.

This will install v3.25 which is newer than v3.21 from Ubuntu Bionic Beaver 18.04 LTS.Īlso can try to download latest version from official site: cd ~/DownloadsĬurrently no calibre snap-package exist. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/calibre You can try to install calibre from Jonathon F's PPA. Because of the fact that we can not change release policy inside Ubuntu, you probably will not get it from official Ubuntu xenial repositories.īut you can use one of the following methods to install the software:
