In addition, the monoxide experimental Mono packages PPA website offers the latest version of the MonoDevelop apt installation source.

(Maintained by official Debian/ubuntu Mono team)

This PPA should is used for testing changes to the Mono stack, pre-release package versions, etc.

Let's try it out:

First, use the following command:

$ sudo vi/etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following lines to the software source:

Then use the following command to install MonoDevelop:

[Email protected]:~$ sudo apt-key adv--keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com--recv-keys 23dc003a

That's OK. Use the MonoDevelop command, or click the "application-like programming-and MonoDevelop" menu item to run, as shown in the version information:

As you can see, this version is still 2.2 Beta 2, and I believe it will be possible to upgrade to 2.2 RC version with the sudo apt-get Upgrade command in the near future. :)
