[Geany-Users] Users Digest, Vol 190, Issue 14

[Tony Dunn]

You have limited options on Pi OS (Buster) in my view:

(1) Find a repository that has the latest version for ARM (ask on Pi forums?), add it to /etc/apt/sources.list or an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, then do sudo apt update, then search for 'geany', then sudo apt install geany (the package might contain the version number, but not usually in my experience)

(2) Clone the GitHub repo and follow the instructions (https://github.com/geany/geany#installation-from-sources). It's not usually as scary as some think, just need all the bits of the 'jigsaw' and good instructions :)

(3) Wait until a later version makes its way into mainstream Pi OS (if you are staying on Buster, this might be never)

(4) Upgrade Pi Os to Debian Bullseye, where I think the latest Geany is 1.37.x

(5) Burn an SD with Manjaro MATE which I'm pretty sure has 1.38, try Geany and see if the upgrade matters enough to you to keep hunting the later version down for vanilla Pi OS, and/or change distro

If this conversation is too 'Pi' and not enough 'Geany' for the List, moderator do let me know and me/Bob can have a private conversation elsewhere :)
