How to upgrade dtc version in ubuntu 18.04?

Question

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 when I try to update the package with

sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler

it says

device-tree-compiler is already the newest version (1.4.5-3)

but for my application it required dtc version to 1.4.6

What should I do in order to get the latest release?

Solution

1. Download device-tree-compiler_1.4.7-1_amd64.deb on AMD64 machines.

2. Double-click device-tree-compiler_1.4.7-1_amd64.deb to open it for installation in Ubuntu Software or open the terminal and change directories using cd to the directory containing device-tree-compiler_1.4.7-1_amd64.deb and install it with this command:

   sudo apt install ./device-tree-compiler_1.4.7-1_amd64.deb
