body: <p>I've recently read that Mono 3.0 has been released with a C# 5 compiler and support for MVC 4 here: </p>

  <p>For the life of me I cannot work out where to get it from as a package for Linux or even Windows.</p>
  
  <p>This page seems to suggest it's still in Beta:</p>

  <p>I've tried doing a <code>apt-get install mono-complete</code> on Ubuntu 12.10 but it's installed 2.10.8.1.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried installing MonoDevelop 3 on my Windows machine and that's only presented me with MVC 3 projects and appears to be using the .NET framework.</p>
  
  <p>I'm entirely new to Mono and I've Googled everything possible to try and see how this works but am baffled. I'd love to get this working on Linux if possible and try some stuff out.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone shed some light on this or do I need to be looking at building this from source?</p>
