Note: the latest version of GNU sed at the time of writing is 4.7, not 4.5.



Here is an alternative option: compile directly from the source tarball, using two very useful features of GNU source packages.




  • You can install your new version of sed under any other name you want, so that it will not interfere with your current sed; in this answer I will use sed47.

  • The make uninstall command is supported, which allows you to cleanly uninstall it if you no longer need it.


First install all the build dependencies



sudo apt-get build-dep sed


Get the source and extract



cd
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.7.tar.xz
tar xf sed-4.7.tar.xz
rm sed-4.7.tar.xz # optional
cd sed-4.7


Configure, build and install. Note the --program-suffix parameter to configure, which tells the build system to append 47 to the name of all executables.



./configure --program-suffix=47
make
sudo make install


You can now use the new sed with the command sed47, consult its manual page with man sed47, etc. When/if you want to uninstall it, do



cd ~/sed-4.7
sudo make uninstall


If you have deleted the sed-4.7 directory, you can recreate it by repeating the installation instructions above (at least up to make).



If you want to use it as your "main" version of sed, you can create an alias:



alias sed=sed47


In this case I recommend subscribing to the info-gnu mailing list to get announcements about new releases, which may contain important bug fixes.

As the result this packages will be listed as locally installed.

  • This version will overwrite existing one. This is how APT works. So for sed --version you will get 4.5. Thanks, fixed typo.

  • I would add the usual caveat that if you do this you no longer get automatic bugfix/security upgrades.

  • Thanks for the answer. Will this replace the 4.4-2 version or install side by side? If it's side by side, which one it runs when I type sed?

  • BTW, I saw "» Ubuntu » Packages » cosmic (18.10) » utils » sed" in the page you mentioned. So it should be a Ubuntu 18.10 package, not 19.04.
