How to update Tree to 1.7

Question

I've installed tree using the command line

sudo apt-get install tree

but it installed version 1.6 and I need 1.7

Any suggestion how to achieve that appreciate your kind help.

Thanks for the link. File Size sorting might come in handy when you are looking to cut down on disk usage. — WinEunuuchs2Unix, Aug 25, 2018 at 23:21

OK I've succeeded installing 1.7

If you have installed 1.6 like I did uninstall it

sudo apt-get purge tree

Then download the package from Tree page extract the archived folder tree-1.7.0
and run the following commands within it:

make

and then

sudo make install
