Install and configure LLVM 18 on Ubuntu 20.04
In earlier posts, I wrote about how to compile a CUDA code with Clang and LLVM on Ubtuntu. Check the LLVM tag.
In this post, I dumped required steps to install LLVM+Clang 18 on Ubuntu 20.04.
I used apt to install the packages; checkout the apt packages of LLVM here.
First of all, update the source addresses for your package manager. In the cases similar to mine, add these lines to /etc/apt/source.list:
deb http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal main
deb-src http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal main
# 16
deb http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal-16 main
deb-src http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal-16 main
# 17
deb http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal-17 main
deb-src http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal-17 main
If you scroll down to development branch, you can see installation commands to config LLVM 18.
Basically, you might not need all of the tools.
# LLVM

In my case, I had to install some other libs at some point:
sudo apt install libc++-dev libc++abi-dev
sudo apt install libstdc++-10-dev
