          The Ubuntu maintainers have some alpha-quality/unsupported gcc 7.2 packages that might work. Use at your own risk



          $ gcc-7 -v
          ...
          gcc version 7.2.0 (Ubuntu 7.2.0-1ubuntu1~16.04)
          $




          Install it (should work on Trusty to Zesty)



          sudo env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive                                    
          bash -c 'apt-get install -y python-software-properties lsb-release &&
          echo -e "Package: gcc-7\nPin: release n=$(lsb_release -sc)\nPin-Priority: 990" > /etc/apt/preferences.d/gcc-7
          apt-add-repository -yu ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test &&
          apt-get install -y gcc-7'

          • @AndreiR. I think the issue is that you're on zesty and there aren't builds of gcc 7.2 for it in the ppa at the time of this writing (see launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test for available builds) There is, however, a binary blob of 7.2 for denial. Thus, what you need to do is replace the apt-add-repository step from @Barry's answer and replace it with apt-add-repository -yu 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-toolchain-r/test/ubuntu xenial main'.
