How to install latest version of Evince in my Xubuntu machine

Question

I wish to install the latest version of Evince (3.18) in my Xubuntu 15.04 machine (64 bits), which comes with v. 3.14.2 installed.

I tried following the instructions from Evince's web page, using jhbuild, but with no success

Any ideas on how to do that?

Answer 1

You have to add the PPA ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

And then issue

sudo apt update
sudo apt install evince

Details here.

But beware! This can break your system. It almost did it to mine.
