How do I uninstall Pandoc in Ubuntu 19.10 (and install most recent version)

  • 772

I have an old version of Pandoc installed, but I'd like to install the latest version of Pandoc.

To begin I've run the following to get rid of the old version: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge pandoc

But when I check that everything is uninstalled by running: pandoc --version Then pandoc 2.2.3.2 pops up.

I can't seem to get rid of this old version of pandoc so that I can install a new one.

Could you advise me on how I can get rid of the old version and install the new one please.

    Removing is possible by

    sudo apt-get purge pandoc pandoc-citeproc pandoc-data
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

    Installation is usually as simple as visiting Pandoc site and download the latest version of deb-file as the result:

    wget https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.9.2.1/pandoc-2.9.2.1-1-amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./pandoc-2.9.2.1-1-amd64.deb
