I need to upgrade my skype version using terminal. Right now I have the Skype version 8.11.0.4 and the notification icon I am getting the text, i.e. 

A new update is available. Install latest version via your package manager, then restart skype.

So I need to upgrade the latest version using terminal. I need the steps to upgrade this.

If you have the Skype repo added to your system (If you installed it from the .deb package provided in the official Skype website, the repo is added automatically.), you may run 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install skypeforlinux

or simply run 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

to install all* available updates.
