How to install gfortran 5 on Ubuntu 14.04
I want to install gfortran 5. As per how do I install gfortran, I tried
sudo apt-get install gfortran but it installs 4.8.4 gfortran compiler. I searched and found this.
When I wrote,
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
it gives error
Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test'.
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.
I am not expert in linux or ubuntu so just searched ways on internet, but no luck so far. On this webpage, it prompts a download link, but I have no clue how to install that package.
Update:
As per above link of ubuntu package gfortran-5, I installed synaptic package, but it doesn't find gfortran-5.
Does anyone know workarounds?
apt software-installation ppa synaptic

gfortran-5 is not currently available for Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty". There are however packages available for 16.04 "Xenial" and later. If you must have Version 5 and can't get by with version 4.8 which is the latest currently available in the repositories for Trusty, You have some options.
A) Upgrade your installation to 16.04 LTS which will be supported for 2 years longer than your current installation.
B) Attempt to compile from source
Personally I would consider approach A to have the best chance of success.
