The latest stable version right now is 24.5. See if you can install it

I will try if I can install emacs25.

The next release vesion after 24.5 is going to be 25.1. While it is not yet
released, I have been using the versions built from the git emacs-25 branch
and they are very stable from my experience.

Feel free to try the latest pretest as of today:
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-25.0.95.tar.xz if building
emacs locally from git is not an option.
