I've got Minetest installed already, I did this originally through the synaptic package manager. I'm currently running v 0.3.1 and I'm seeing the current release is 0.4.8? How do I update this? I've looked at synaptic and it says everything is up to date. I've gone into the terminal and tried sudo apt-get minetest and it said minetest is an invalid operation so i tried sudo apt-get install minetest and it said minetest is currently installed and the version is current.

michael@mdf4x:~$ sudo apt-get minetest
E: Invalid operation minetest

michael@mdf4x:~$ sudo apt-get install minetest

So long story short how can I update to the current release? Thanks in advance!

Scroll down the README.txt until you find the "Compiling on GNU/Linux:" part.

I have found my answer. My distro is built on wheezy and 0.3.1 is the current version on wheezy. Sorry I wasted anyone's time. :)
