Change install method for an application
Multi tool use
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
When I first started using Ubuntu, I installed the majority of the applications using apt-get.
I'm now a little more experienced, and happy to compile applications from source.
I would now like to compile some existing applications from source to get newer versions than are available as apt packages.
I have searched extensively on the web, but can't find any insights into how I would stop apt from tracking an application, and allow me to compile from source.
Is the only way to do it to uninstall using apt, then reinstall using make install?
16.04 apt
