I want to install QGIS 3.4 above and did exactly the same as this page: QGIS Installers

and tried the codes below having no error at all:

(1) add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb https://qgis.org/ubuntu xenial main

deb-src https://qgis.org/ubuntu xenial main

(2) wget -O - https://qgis.org/downloads/qgis-2017.gpg.key | gpg --import

gpg --fingerprint CAEB3DC3BDF7FB45 which gives the results below:

pub 2048R/BDF7FB45 2017-08-16 [expires: 2019-08-16] Key fingerprint = 61E0 A086 749E 463E DE50 2255 CAEB 3DC3 BDF7 FB45 uid QGIS Archive Automatic Signing Key (2017) sub 2048R/E959BBCF 2017-08-16 [expires: 2019-08-16]

then:

gpg --export --armor CAEB3DC3BDF7FB45 | sudo apt-key add -

at last:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key CAEB3DC3BDF7FB45

(3) sudo apt-get update

(4) sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass

every thing goes fine except that these codes installs only QGIS 2.18 but not 3.4 above?

I have tried other repositories as well and it still goes the same and installs QGIS 2.18

I need a solution and I need this software on my Ubuntu.

Regards.

If you follow the instructions from the QGIS Installers page, you will see the following information under the "Supported distribution versions:" table:

Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS) xenial [5]
...

[5] 3.0 and above only available with ubuntugis-unstable (plain xenial lacks GDAL2)

enter image description here

So, add the ubuntugis-unstable ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable

Then use the "Release with ubuntugis-unstable dependencies" repository (https://qgis.org/ubuntugis) in your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb https://qgis.org/ubuntugis xenial main
deb-src https://qgis.org/ubuntugis xenial main

You should then be able to install QGIS 3.4.2 according to the packages list:
