I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I can install v2.8.6.3 of Monodevelop from software center but I need at least v3 to use Monogame v3 or higher. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

Installing Mono develop 4 on 12.04 precise

Option 1: Compile Git version from source

First uninstall your current version of mono develop with the software centre then from the terminal run following commands:

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake checkinstall intltool git
sudo apt-get install mono-complete mono-addins-utils gtk-sharp2 gnome-sharp2
git clone git://github.com/mono/monodevelop
cd monodevelop
git checkout monodevelop-4.0
git submodule update --init --recursive
./configure
make
sudo checkinstall

Option 2: Installing from PPA

Un-install current version first

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keks9n/monodevelop-latest
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install monodevelop-latest

From terminal run:

monodevelop

The ppa from the first answer 

ppa:keks9n/monodevelop-latest

seems to be outdated.

If you want to use the latest version ( 4.2.2+ ) with the latest runtime and so on, I suggest to use this new ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ermshiperete/monodevelop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install monodevelop-current

After this you will have monodevelop installed in the /opt/monodevelop. To start the IDE use the following script:

/opt/monodevelop/bin/monodevelop-launcher.sh

You can download the source code from here and compile it. I am using 13.04 and the version of mono is 3.0.3.2 on the software center.

You can try to download from the 13.04 center for your distro (from here)
