Installing Emacs27 on MX Linux

Dear MX Linux, I need help installing Linux 27 (or Linux 28). I had installed Emacs 26.1 through Synaptic package manager but unfortunately I now need Emacs 27, since Doom Emacs (a specific configuration for Emacs) is only officially supported for Emacs 26.3 and above. Since Synaptic package manager ...
