What version of code blocks to install?

[zoran404]

I'm looking at http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26 and I'm not sure which version to pick?
I'm guessing I should either use
codeblocks_16.01_amd64_jessie.tar.xz
or
codeblocks_16.01_amd64_stretch.tar.xz
since I'm using a 64 bit amd processor.

I've only recently started using linux more often, so I wasn't bothered by the fact that the software manager on linux mint only offers C::B 13.12.

Also since I'm only used to installing from the software manager I'd probably need instructions on how to install it?

¿what's wrong with 13.12?
¿why do you need 16.01?

[zoran404]

Nothing is wrong with 13.12.
It's just that I use 16.01 on windows and would like to use the same version on linux.

Code::Blocks should be available in the package manager of your linux system--it's probably named codeblocks. Which linux are you using?

[mbozzi]

IIRC, Linux Mint uses dpkg/aptitude as its package manager.
For such a widely used distribution, there's probably a package available.
Try issuing (at a shell)
$ sudo su -c 'apt-get install codeblocks=16.0.1'

Edit: I didn't read the question fully.
You probably want the stable version (for Debian Jessie) of the package.

You can install the .deb file(s) using dpkg(1)
