To check the version, just type "meep --version" at the command line.

The newest version of Meep is not usually included on most repositories, thus you cannot download/install Meep with a simple apt-get. You have to manually download the file and use the make/configure installation. Details on the Meep installation page.

Dear Steven and meep users,
 
I apologize as this problem is not really a meep problem.
But I tried to download meep.1.0 to upgrade it, (I am using ubuntu).
 
First time I installed meep I used the command:
“Sudo apt-get install meep”
 
This now gives me a strange message which makes me think it is not doing anything:
“Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Meep is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 258 not upgraded.”
 
I havent upgraded the meep for quite a long time, I don’t think this is a right msg to appear.
How can I check the version of the existing meep on my machine?!?
 
Thanks,
Asa
 
PS. I also tried using the command
“apt-get install meep” (it might be wrong, I have no idea about how unix command work”
 
And this also gives me an error:
“E: could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (13 permission denied) E: unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/),are you root?”
