T. Kelman's advice is apt here ... unpacking the generic Linux binaries has worked well on Ubuntu systems for me over the past months.
the current release, 0.4.5, for 64-bit environments can be had here: https://julialang.s3.amazonaws.com/bin/linux/x64/0.4/julia-0.4.5-linux-x86_64.tar.gz there was some time when the Ubuntu PPA was lagging due to other priorities ... however, based upon the information here: https://launchpad.net/~staticfloat/+archive/ubuntu/juliareleases the current release PPA looks to be in good order (green check marks in the "Latest updates" box. so the following should work in theory sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/juliareleases sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/julia-deps sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install julia sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade if you were getting v0.5.xxx, then it would seem that your initial "sudo add-apt-repository ..." line is not pointed to the correct PPA and/or "sudo apt-get update" needs to be run again. hoping that helps ...
