Has recently upgraded my ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04.1 LTS. When trying to run vmware I am getting this message: gcc version 8.2.0 not found
so I checked gcc v. and I found: (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3).
I tried to install gcc-8 following these steps:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test && sudo apt update &&
sudo apt install -y gcc-8
But I got this: The following packages have unmet dependencies: gcc-8: depends:
cpp-8, gcc-8-base and libgcc-8-dev
So I downloaded gcc-8 from here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/gcc-8
, But I don't know how to install it and if this is the right way?!
Any suggestions or help is very appreciated - I don't know how to do it.

The second link you provided tells you the package is available in the 'universe' repository for bionic (18.04), so can be installed withsudo apt install gcc-8(assuming you have 'universe' repository enabled; the dependencies are also found in universe) ie.aptwill do the download for you & then install. Do you have 'universe' enabled? Refer help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu for help with repositories ; at the first picture you need to have the second box (universe) ticked.

yes..I haveuniverseenabled. I tried installing gcc-8 using aptitude and it seems installed(/usr/bin/gcc-8), but when I check the v. i still getting 7.3 so I tried to update the alternatives:sudo update-alternatives --config gcc, but i don't found the choice of gcc-8 (just gcc-5, 6, or 7)!!! any suggestions?

I only use the defaultgcc, so this is from looking only. Adpkg-query -S gcc-8shows the file "/usr/bin/gcc-8" is installed (& as you stated); so I'd guessgcc-8would run it. Is that what you tried? Otherwise this was found online - askubuntu.com/questions/1028601/… (see answer)

AFAIK additional versions of gcc will not overwrite the default/usr/bin/gccsymlink - if you gcc-8 to be the default, you will need to symlink it yourself (or place gcc under the control of update-alternatives). Otherwise, just usegcc-8as the program name when you want to run it
