<p>You may be able to find a PPA to allow you to run the latest
version, but as Andrey said the easiest way is to use the
appimage. I use it on Linux Mint, which is a derivative of
Ubuntu, and it works fine.</p>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div>I think the main reason is that digikam 6.4.0-stable and
digikam 7.0.0-beta rely on the latest versions of various
libraries e.g. exiv2 that are not available in ubuntu repos.</div>
<div>I switched to KDE Neon because they have the latest stable
digikam in their repos while relying on ubuntu stable (18.04)
base.</div>
<div>However, the official digikam appimage is so good nowadays.
I have noticed that I run the appimage 90% of the time lately.</div>
