You go to the Software Management application of your Linux distribution
and enable it. That's the easiest way ever and the same for every
distro, and that's why App Stores got popular on mobile phones too.

help.gnome.org is not specifically about Evolution. There is no download
link on https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/ because if you need help
on Evolution you probably have it already installed.

Ubuntu is one out of hundreds of Linux distributions out there, and
there are no plans to maintain some download location list for them, or
to deal with every single distribution that decides to not ship
Evolution by default, or to deliberately ship some old version by
default, or or or.
