Anki Help

Am new to Anki and am trying to set it up. I am using it on Ubuntu 20.04. On my homepage when i try selecting the options button, it throws the error below:
Anki 2.1.15 (442df9d6) Python 3.10.4 Qt 5.15.3 PyQt 5.15.6

I would like to know how i can about sorting this one out. Thank you

It seems that you have installed Anki through a package manager, because they usually are stuck at 2.1.15, which is getting old now. To keep it simple, you could either reinstall it by downloading the binaries on the website or by installing anki-ppd with snap (which Ubuntu now officially ships as one of its package managers), which is keeping up with Anki’s pace. Basically, anything but apt.
