[Qgis-user] Upgrading from Qgis 2.4 to 2.12 on Ubuntu 15.04

[Steve Steve]

OK Here is how I did it. I found a page with a good link:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/645343/how-do-i-install-qgis-2-8-on-ubuntu-15-04

[EDITED SLIGHTLY]    
To install the newest version of QGIS I added the QGIS repositories to my /etc/apt/sources.list file:

sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list

and inserted these lines:

deb http://qgis.org/debian vivid main
deb-src http://qgis.org/debian vivid main

Remember to add the GPG keys as follows:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 3FF5FFCAD71472C4
gpg --export --armor 3FF5FFCAD71472C4 | sudo apt-key add -

Then run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass

This installed qgis 2.12.3-Lyon

Cheers,
Steve

Hi,

I am really trying to upgrade Qgis 2.4 to 2.12 on Ubuntu 15.04.

I have tried to edit sources.list but to no avail. I have also tried to the Lubuntu Software Center in 'preferences', 'open software preferences', 'other software' and 'add' but I still can't get it to work.

Qgis.org states "Default Debian and Ubuntu software repositories often hold older versions of
QGIS.
To have newer versions, you have to add alternative software repositories, by
adding one of the deb-lines below to your /etc/apt/sources.list file."


Help please?


Cheers,
Steve
