This PPA provides old version of of Julia not the latest one.
I faced the problem in installing the Julia latest version. So when I successfully installed the latest version of Julia in ubuntu, I wrote an article regarding the stepwise procedure to install julia ubuntu

It's very easy, here's how to install it on Ubuntu in 8 steps:

1- go to Julia downloads page

2- Choose you version (32bit or 64bit) from Generic Linux Binaries, and then download it.

3- extract .tar.gz file in home or any place you would like to install Julia on it.

4- run > gksudo gedit /etc/environment on your terminal to setup envirnment path.

5- edit file :/Path_To_extracted_File/bin in my case it was like this:
":/home/okasha/julia-d386e40c17/bin"

6- Save edits and close the file.

7- Restart your machine.

8- Open your terminal again and run > julia -version
you shoud get "julia version 0.6.2" for Example according to your installed julia version.

Run > julia to open julia session.

As of Julia 1.0, you will need to do julia -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.update()".
