It wasn't originally designed to replace AD, it was designed to connect 
to Windows PC's

How about this for incentive, there are so many bugs and security 
concerns in 3.6.x that you could drive a tractor through them. Do not 
use 3.6.x , it isn't safe.

Whilst it wasn't designed to replace AD, it can now.

No, the latest version is 4.10.2

The easiest way would to download the latest tarball:

https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/stable/samba-4.10.2.tar.gz

Then read these:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/File_System_Support

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build_Samba_from_Source

Or alternatively dump Void, use Devuan and this repo:
