how to control version of slime in emacs (using melpa package installer)

[Mark H. David]

Hi, I installed SLIME with the package installer (melpa), and I have no idea how to control the version. I would like to run version 2.20, but I seem to have version 2.19. Does anyone know how I can change to version 2.20? I cannot find any documentation about this. Can anyone point this out?
Thanks,
Mark

That's probably a question for melpa, not for slime.

Mark,

From 'M-x list-packages' you can use 'g' to update the list, 'U' to mark
all upgradable packages (which will presumably include SLIME) then 'x' to
upgrade the marked packages. There may be other ways to go about it --
e.g., you can probably simply install the newer slime package after 'g'
step -- but this is how I usually do it.

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Packages.html
contains all the details.

HTH,
Luís
