I have ROS Melodic and Gazebo 9.0.0 installed by installing ros-kinetic-desktop-full, but I'd like to update to the latest (Gazebo 9.12). I can't update Gazebo from source because it's tied to ROS.
You can follow the official instructions in http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?cat=in... Be sure to choose the version in the up-right corner to version=9.0 or any other version you want to install.
Following the step-by-step instructions from updating the sources lists.
And you will upgrade to the latest version (9.13.0) in 2020/04/21.
This tutorial should have all the info you need: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=ro...
In summary, since Gazebo 9 is the official version for Melodic, you should be able to upgrade to the latest Gazebo 9 minor version by following these instructions and keep using the rest of ROS as usual.
I was trying to avoid compiling from source because I wanted to keep the ROS linkage. Thanks for the help though I was able to figure it out
I was able to upgrade from Gazebo 9.0.0 to Gazebo 9.12.0 with a simple sudo apt-get upgrade

Just curious, why do you need to? I'm also running ros melodic and gazebo-9. Should i upgrade?
Gazebo 9.0.0 has some bugs that were affecting my use but were fixed in Gazebo 9.12.0
