Adding Ultimaker Cura repository possible
Solution 1:
It doesn't look like Ultimaker have an official PPA or repository suitable for use with apt
. There is an unofficial one according to https://thopiekar.eu/cura/ppa/:
These packages are built daily and are based on the current codebase, which is hosted in the “master” branches of the following repositories:
- https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura
- https://github.com/Ultimaker/Uranium
- https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine
- https://github.com/Ultimaker/libArcus
- https://github.com/Ultimaker/libSavitar
The stable PPA is using the code, which has been tagged for the latest release version of Cura. ... So if you are a developer and would like to fix issues or add new features, you probably would like to take a look at the master PPA. BUT for everyone else I won’t recommend the master PPA, because Cura might not work for a certain amount of time, your personal profiles and other settings could get lost.
If you feel like trusting them, you can use the stable PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thopiekar/cura
But it doesn't have the 4.11 version right now. That's on the aforementioned "master" PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thopiekar/cura-master
Solution 2:
The snap has an updated version.
See snap info cura-slicer
to see the current version available.
Install using sudo snap install cura-slicer
. It will the automatically update when the snap author packages an update.
