Hi to the community,
In order to install Nest 3.3 in Ubuntu 18.04 WITHOUTH the Docker, I followed two ways:
1)
I downloaded the source zip file from
"https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/tags", then I followed the guide in
"https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/v3.3/installation/linux_install.html#linux-install",
in particular the "Installation from source without a virtual Python
environment" version.
What I obtain is an error in the terminal:
salvo@salvo-Aspire-GX-781:~/Downloads/nest-simulator-3.3-build$ cmake
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/nest /home/salvo/Downloads/nest-simulator-3.3-build/

2)
I also tried to force the following Ubuntu commands to obtain, from the ppa repository,
the Nest version that I need (this is the ppa nest site:
https://launchpad.net/~nest-simulator/+archive/ubuntu/nest):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nest-simulator/nest
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nest=3.2-0~202202100714~ubuntu18.04.1
But is seems that the only package that is downloaded from this ppa is nest 2.20, in
particular: 2.20.1-0~202103121402~ubuntu18.04.1.
What can I do to install Nest 3.3 in my Ubuntu 18.04?
Best,
Salvo
