I installed gnome on Ubuntu 16.04. I used the package ubuntu-gnome-desktop

My question : Is there any safe way to update gnome to 3.22? Also did i installed gnome correctly? Right now i am using Gnome-Shell 3.18.5

There is no official way to update gnome to the latest release without using ppa's. However, they generally work very well. This website should give you the instructions you need:

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/05/install-gnome-3-20-ubuntu-16-04-lts

We’ll use the Terminal to add the two GNOME 3 PPAs:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

Next, refresh your software sources:

sudo apt update

Finally upgrade (if you already have GNOME-Shell installed) using:

sudo apt dist-upgrade

Or install GNOME (if you don’t already use it):

sudo apt install gnome gnome-shell
