How to update the version of Fish Terminal? (Ubuntu)

Question

I'm on now 2.1.0and would like to move on to the latter ( 2.5.0currently). Is there a team for this? Or do I need to uninstall the current version and install a new one? Is this done through apt-get?

Could not find this anywhere in the documentation or anywhere else on the Internet ...

I tried downloading the last .deb file from the download page file , but trying to open it in the Ubuntu software center gives "Breaks the existing package" fish "

The best way is to use the package archive provided by the fish project to replace the packages that are the Ubuntu project project (which are very old and contain security issues).

The following commands subscribe your system to the Personal Package Archive launched by the fish developers, update the list of packages, and finally update or install the fish:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fish-shell/release-2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fish

As an added bonus, by running apt-get upgradeafter these steps, always make sure you have the latest version of fish.
