I would like to install this in my ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttfautohint
but I don't know how.
I did sudo apt install ttfautohint and ttfautohint --version gives 0.97.

Step 1: Visit the PPA's overview page in Launchpad. Look for the heading that reads Adding this PPA to your system and click the Technical details about this PPA link. Step 2: Use the Display sources. list entries drop-down box to select the version of Ubuntu you're using.
What is Launchpad? Launchpad, developed by Canonical, is a system used to keep track of many aspects of open-source development. Launchpad's features include code hosting, bug tracking, translation, feature blueprints and a community-based answer tracker.
If you want to upgrade the version, you must first remove the package from your system:
$ sudo apt-get remove ttfautohint
After making sure that the package is removed, do a:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu/ttfautohint
It'll ask for your confirmation and verification of the GPG signed key. This will add the desired ppa to your sources file, and make it visible. Then, you must do a:
$ sudo apt-get update
For it to see the changed package location. Then you can simply install it as you've just typed, with apt-get:
$ sudo apt-get install ttfautohint --verbose-versions
The '--verbose-versions' will show you what version will be installed, and you can check if the desired version is being installed.
