Adding Ultimaker Cura repository possible

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1376 / 3 Years ago, sat, november 6, 2021, 7:48:09

I am currently using the Ultimaker Cura that one can install via the Software Centre which is currently in version 4.8. However, there is a more recent version of the software available here (that is version 4.11). I can download the AppImage and run it but I just want to add a repository so that the newest release automatically replaces any old version.

Can anyone help me assemble the line: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:... if this is possible from the code available on the site above. Not even sure if this is possible.

It doesn't look like Ultimaker have an official PPA or repository suitable for use with apt. There is an unofficial one according to https://thopiekar.eu/cura/ppa/:

These packages are built daily and are based on the current codebase,
which is hosted in the “master” branches of the following
repositories:

https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura

https://github.com/Ultimaker/Uranium

https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine

https://github.com/Ultimaker/libArcus

https://github.com/Ultimaker/libSavitar

The stable PPA is using the code, which has been tagged for the latest
release version of Cura. ... So if you are a developer and would like to fix issues or add new features, you probably would like to take a look at the master PPA. BUT for everyone else I won’t recommend the master PPA, because Cura might not work for a certain amount of time, your personal profiles and other settings could get lost.

If you feel like trusting them, you can use the stable PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thopiekar/cura

But it doesn't have the 4.11 version right now. That's on the aforementioned "master" PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thopiekar/cura-master
