installing the latest blender on Linux Mint

I needed to install Blender 2.78 for compatibility with files created on Windows with 2.78. The Linux Mint repository (Ubuntu repository) carried the earlier version of Blender. So, followed this guide to install 2.78.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
sudo apt update 
sudo apt install blender

To go back to the default version, I need to do
sudo apt install ppa-purge 
sudo ppa-purge ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
