Zorin 18 is based on Ubuntu 24.04 so using the latter in my search criteria in Brave Search engine via Mojeek, brings back Brave A.I. result first with:

" To install the latest official 7-Zip 26.01 on Ubuntu 24.04, you must download the binary directly from the official source, as the Ubuntu 24.04 repository only provides version 23.01 via the 7zip package.

  1. Download the archive :
wget -O 7z2601-linux-x64.tar.xz https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/26.01/7z2601-linux-x64.tar.xz
  1. Extract and install :
tar -xf 7z2601-linux-x64.tar.xz
sudo install -m 755 7zz /usr/local/bin/7zz
  1. Verify installation :
7zz --version

This confirms 7-Zip 26.01 . Note that this installs the 7zz binary, which operates independently of the system apt package manager and must be updated manually.

Welcome to the Forum!

Is there a Reason why You want this newer Version of 7zip? Because Zorin over it - but an older Version.
