I’ve got Timeshift 20.11.1 installed. The latest version of Timeshift is 21.09.1. How do I update Timeshift to the latest version? Seems my Timeshift is not updated as part of Ubuntu Software Center updates.

I went to the Timeshift github https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift but don’t see any deb files for 21.09.1; I only see source code files. How to update my Timeshift to 21.09.1? Thanks.

    Does this answer your question? [Why don't the Ubuntu repositories have the latest versions of software?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/151283/why-dont-the-ubuntu-repositories-have-the-latest-versions-of-software) – user535733 Nov 15 '21 at 13:51
  • Timeshift 20.11 is the version packaged for Ubuntu 21.04 and Ubuntu 21.10. Timeshift 21.09 is the version packaged for Ubuntu 22.04, currently in testing, to be released in April 2022. You are welcome to help test it. – user535733 Nov 15 '21 at 13:54

  • @user535733 It does not answer the question "**How to** use the latest timeshift in an older version of Ubuntu" – Archisman Panigrahi Nov 15 '21 at 18:48
  • @ArchismanPanigrahi true; it was not an attempt to answer. Your answer is very good; no other seems needed. – user535733 Nov 15 '21 at 20:41

Timeshift PPA (maintained by the developer) hosts the latest version of Timeshift. Open a terminal and enter the following commands one by one.

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/timeshift
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install timeshift
