FreeCAD 0.19.2 on APT?
I am setting up my system after moving to Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) and I cannot find a way to install FreeCAD 0.19 without using the AppImages from the releases page on GitHub. I would prefer to use APT, but the freecad package only has 0.18.4 and the freecad-daily package only has 0.20.pre. Is there a PPA or such where I can get 0.19.2?

That says to just use APT and the freecad package. As I said, that package is not at version 0.19.2.adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 1:00 am https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Installing_ ... ed_systems

Re: FreeCAD 0.19.2 on APT?
click expand on the ubuntu title and read the stable ppa segment
CLI
Install the stable PPA via the Command Line Interface (CLI):
1. Add the PPA to your software sources:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable
2. Retrieve the updated package lists:
sudo apt update
3. Then install FreeCAD along with its offline documentation:
sudo apt install freecad freecad-doc

Ah, that's not very well highlighted. Thank you!

I agree, that the "Expand" link is not very seen. And that thing confused me at the first time too. Maybe it would be worth somehow to highlight it then?
