As I am working in Debian Linux, I did "apt-get install qgis" so I could start working with QGIS. This installed an 'older' version of QGIS, 2.x (I forget the suffix now). Anyway, this seemed way too far back to be practical so I checked how to upgrade one's QGIS version. There is the "Quickstart" guide, which one reaches after you start up QGIS, and link to "Help -> Check GIS version". There, one finds the link to get the "latest" version, 3.16.5. When you link there, one finds the "Quickstart" guide and I went down to the section for "Debian/Ubuntu Linux". Stepped through everything: 1. apt-get install gnupg ... 2. wget -qO ... 3. chmod a+r ..qgis-archive.gpg 4. add-apt-repository "deb https://qgis.org/debian $(lsb_release -c -s) main" 5. apt-get update 6. apt-get remove qgis (to clear out an older version) 6. apt-get install qgis qgis-plugin-grass
All worked fine, but the QGIS version it installed is 3.4, a great step up from 2.x, but not the "latest" version, 3.16.5. A further read indicates I need to have the right lines "deb ..." and "deb-src ..." lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, but need help in nailing this down. (for reference, I am in Debian Linux (version "stretch"). Will gleefully accept any and all information.
