From the output of sphinx-build --version I see I have:
Sphinx (sphinx-build) 1.6.3
How do I upgrade to the latest version, which I believe to currently be 1.8?
I have tried apt install python3-sphinx and pip install, but that alone does not seem to change the version I get when running sphinx-build.
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 but I hope this helps people with newer versions as well! Thanks in advance!

You can install Sphinx directly from a clone of the Git repository or simply installing directly via pip pointing git repository url.
git clone
cd sphinx
pip install .or
pip install git+If you use python3.
pip3 install git+Remove old installation and then make sure to use python3 and pip3 (set alias for python and pip to python3 and pip3 respectively) and then pip install sphinx.
