I'd like to install the latest Anki version. Not from the repository as this would install an older version.
I tried to do it by downloading the latest package and using Package Manager to install but it doesn't work.
Only the older version shows up when using that program. Maybe I'm missing something, anyone knows?

Open the terminal emulator and do the following:

$ sudo aptitude install gdebi

Then, go to Anki's webpage and download the Ubuntu/Debian's version.

Use the terminal emulator with the "cd" command to go to the directory where the new file is, for example:

$ cd Downloads

After that, use gdebi to install the package:

$ sudo gdebi anki-2.0.31.deb

Once "gdebi" installed, you can simply double-click on a .deb package to then ask for its installation/removal. At least, it works with Nautilus (GNOME and Trisquel's default file browser).
