Assuming you currently have 2.9 Tommy's reply was correct.

If you are using Mint 20 installed with this howto all you need to do is those two lines, it will update to the latest build of master.

Ooops, this was made for the stretch version and that is not built anymore !
Change the repo to Buster :
 sudo apt-add-repository 'deb buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ buster master-rtpreempt'
and manually disable or delete the stretch repo entry in "software sources", then update and dist-upgrade.
Sorry for missing that.
