1. On Ubuntu with an internet connection

On Ubuntu, you can install bug-fix updates of emc by using the Ubuntu package manager. When updates are available, an indicator appears (generally at the upper-right corner of the screen). Here, you see a system which has version 2.1.0 installed. Clicking "Install" will update to version 2.1.1, as well as upgrade the other Ubuntu packages shown.

2. On Ubuntu without an internet connection

If you do not have a network connection on the machine where you run emc, you can download a ".deb" file and transfer it using a USB drive or any other method. The emc 2.2 dapper packages are located here . Hardy packages are located here(http://linuxcnc.org/hardy/dists/hardy). Other packages (e.g., older versions or simulator version) are located in other subdirectories of the repository.

.deb files can be installed or upgraded from the commandline: $ sudo dpkg -i filename.deb depending on your system, double-clicking them in the file browser may also install or upgrade the package.
