I need to install KiCad V5 but when I use apt command it only could install Version 4 like this:
notebook:/media/so/ACAC8B5FAC8B2346/Elasa/Softwares/Linux's/Electronic/Kicad/Libraries/kipi-0.2.1$ sudo apt-cache madison kicad
kicad | 4.0.5+dfsg1-4~bpo8+1 | http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports/main amd64 Packages
kicad | 0.20140622+bzr4027-3 | http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian jessie/main amd64 Packages
kicad | 0.20140622+bzr4027-3 | http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian jessie/main amd64 Packages
so@notebook:/media/so/ACAC8B5FAC8B2346/Elasa/Softwares/Linux's/Electronic/Kicad/Libraries/kipi-0.2.1$ apt-cache policy kicad
kicad:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 0.20140622+bzr4027-3
Version table:
4.0.5+dfsg1-4~bpo8+1 100
100 http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports/main amd64 Packages
0.20140622+bzr4027-3 500

Also, I can not find the main zip file of kicad electrical software file via its download link for Linux mint , there is said to:
> To install KiCad via the PPA, you can use the Software Manager:

> Select 'Edit' → 'Software Sources…'.

> Open the 'Other Software' tab.

> Click 'Add…', and enter the PPA address: ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1 and then click the 'Add Source' button.
>
> When prompted insert the administrator user password.
>
> Return to the Software Manager and view the Progress tab to see when the cache has finished updating.
>
> Return to the Software Manager main screen, search for 'kicad', and install it.
>
> The KiCad schematic library and docs are in separate packages. If you

>
> If you prefer to use the shell, you can enter these commands into a

sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1 sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-suggests kicad
So there is no edit option in my Linux LMDE mint as you can see :
Also i can not run this code :

aries/kipi-0.2.1$ sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1
Adding PPAs is not supported
i asked about it here , anyway i tried to install v5 of it as recommended here , but as i mentioned i can not install it with it self site instruction.
so i like to know where is the source file of the kicad V5 and or is it possible to install it via bash like:
sudo apt install kicad=5
but there is only Kicad V4 as i said above:
is this because Linux server setting, or is because i am from Iran( with many ISP filters from government side or international sanctions policy) .
Update:
based of this question some more information about my system setting:
