Question about update and suggestions

[alfredoivan]

Hi,
i currently have cherrytree 0.35.2 ( and really like the program ! )
And want to update to the latest version, which i think is 0.35.8

How is the recommended way of doing it?
I would suggest if it could be done from the program interface, by entering the form ""Check newer version" , it would ask you if you want to update and so download latest version and auto-install it , it would be great for non-expert linux users.

Additional info:
This is from my terminal:

whereis cherrytree
cherrytree: /usr/bin/cherrytree /usr/bin/X11/cherrytree /usr/local/bin/cherrytree /usr/share/cherrytree /usr/share/man/man1/cherrytree.1.gz

Hi, it is not simple to directly/personally support all linux distributions.
I recommend upgrading to 0.35.8 since many bugs were fixed.
If you are using any debian derivative like ubuntu or mint just dounload
the .deb and double click to install.

Start CherryTree from the main menu and check that the version number has changed.
