Install the gcc-7 packages:
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt update
sudo apt install g++-7 -y
Set it up so the symbolic links gcc
, g++
point to the newer version:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 60 \
--slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-7
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
gcc --version
g++ --version
