Check out https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/ and follow the instructions to add their repositories for Ubuntu 18.04. After running the apt update
step, you will have those versions of mono available to install via apt
.
You can also browse their repository manually if it's easier for you to find what you want. Just direct your browser to https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu/. If you're not familiar with how apt
repos work, you can look under https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu/dists for index files. These are text files that list what packages they have made available for a particular distribution/version. Each block of text is like the output from apt show
, for example,

Description: Visual Basic 2012 Cecil libraries for Mono
This package contains the Cecil libraries for the Mono Visual Basic library,
aimed at the specifications / features of the Visual Basic 2012.
.
Mono is a platform for running and developing applications based on the
ECMA/ISO Standards. Mono is an open source effort led by Novell.
Mono provides a complete CLR (Common Language Runtime) including compiler and
runtime, which can produce and execute CIL (Common Intermediate Language)
bytecode (aka assemblies), and a class library.
The filename
line tells you where to find the actual .deb
file relative to the server root. Here, it would be https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mono-basic/libmono-cecil-vb0.9-cil_4.7-0xamarin3+ubuntu1804b1_all.deb. That said, once you've found the thing you want in the package file, you can also just apt-get install mono-basic
, and the package manager will take care of the rest.
