I am using Okular from many time and I am running it in Ubuntu 20.10. I have tried it to update from 20.08.2 to 20.12.0 but it's showing Okular is upgraded to its latest version. How can I install the latest version or if I cannot install that then what is the latest Okular version for Ubuntu 20.10 ? And if anyone has the Okular 20.12.0 then kindly share the screenshot of the interface.

You can install the latest okular version using flatpak. If you don't have installed flatpak, you can do so running the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak

Then to enable installing from flathub, run:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Now you can install okular (the latest version):

flatpak install flathub org.kde.okular

Enjoy it!

In my experience, the safest & most stable version of any app (and Okular) is to install ONLY from snap-store (software) repositories where the latest & stable versions are kept.

Terminal command notwithstanding - snap-store is GUI-based repository which for novice users is the safest & simplest method to install/update your system.

On the "Menu", Search for “snap store” or “software”. After opening, it is pretty much self-explanatory.

The latest version of Okular. Right now it shows is 20.04.0 (updated on 03 January 2021)
