vala page on launchpad specify that you should:

PPA description

Vala packages and some related libraries which are actively maintained for Precise/12.04 and newer!

vala 0.34.x is the suggested series to use

Adding the PPA and its key is as simple as:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vala-team

Afterwards please run:

sudo apt update

install valac

sudo apt install valac

vala-doc:

sudo apt install vala-0.36-doc

sudo apt install valac-dbg
