The version of Arduino IDE in Ubuntu (1.0.5) is lower than 1.8.5 - see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arduino - so I assume you have to install this program from the original source.

It seems to me that you can choose between the newest version 1.8.8 from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software or older versions including 1.8.5 from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftwareReleases

Due to the fact that this is non-Ubuntu software, you better ask for help there.

Hi,
- Install Arduino IDE with Ubuntu Make:

umake ide arduino

This will download Arduino IDE from official site and install it to ~/.local/share/umake/ide/arduino and set corresponding shortcuts and file associations for it.

You can repeat this command again to get a newer version.
