How To Install Iperf3 On Windows

I hope to find an answer rather quickly about this issue. I am currently trying measure RTT from an iOS device to my ubuntu desktop and server. However, I'm seeing that the iperf version on iOS is iperf3 (which is probably the reason why I keep getting an error message every time I try to perform a simple test). I am able to ping from the iOS device to my hosts.
So right now,I am trying to install iperf3 into my Ubuntu 14.04 desktop and server (with the notion that having the same versions will resolve the problem), but keep getting an error that iperf is not installed.
When I do apt-get iperf, it installs. But when I go to check the version (iperf -vl), I get version 2.0.5-3.
Any help I get is greatly appreciated.

- sudo apt-get install lib32z1
- git clone https://github.com/esnet/iperf
- cd iperf
