digikam for xubuntu

[aangelo]

Hi all!

I installed digikam 2.5 on my xubuntu 12 machine.

I'm very new with Linux and would like to know if this is the correct version and which is the last suitable version to upgrade (if any).

Thank you!

The latest version is 4.0.0

Wich xubuntu verision do you have?  The latest xubuntu LTS  is 14.04.

How did you installed?

If you are new to linux, i guess you should sticky with the repository verson.

$ sudo apt-get install digikam

And when you know  a bit more you can compile digikam yourself!

Hello!

I was wrong:

​my ​

OS

​is not Xubuntu; the ​

exact version is
$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="12.04.4 LTS, Precise Pangolin"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu precise (12.04.4 LTS)"
VERSION_ID="12.04"

"About" digiKam tells:

Versione 2.5.0
Con piattaforma di sviluppo KDE 4.8.5 (4.8.5)

so I suppose that version is 2.5.

I executed the command sudo apt-get install digikam but it seems that I have the last version available.

Can you please explain to me which advantage I have if I compile digiKam?

​I am certainly interested to work with the last stable version.

Thank you for the support!

Bye

You can download the deb file for the latest Digikam from the website
and just install it, although you should uninstall the old version first.

I am using Ubuntu Studio 14.04 which came with Digikam 3.5, but I
downloaded 4.0 from the website and am now using that. I did not have to
compile anything.

You will probably also need to update some of the dependencies as well,
again from the website check and get the latest deb files for them.
