Newbie here. I just got an error running from the terminal a C++ program I wrote: error: ‘stoi’ is not a member of ‘std’. They told me the compiler is too old.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

My g++ version is 4.8.4.

How do I upgrade?

You don't need to upgrade. Specify the standards version to g++. For example, to compile an example program from cppreference.com:

$ g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 4.8.5-2ubuntu1~14.04.1) 4.8.5

$ g++ --std=c++11 -o test test.cpp
$ ./test
std::stoi("45") is 45
std::stoi("3.14159") is 3
std::stoi("31337 with words") is 31337
