There is no such thing as 4.7-stable, there is a 4.7-release, and there is 
a 4-stable (among others). The -stable-branch is a moving target, right 
now, it might be calles 4.11-stable, since 4.11 was the latest release 
that was spawned from this branch, but it's not exactly 4.11 either.

"4.7-stable or later", means that you will have to at least upgrade to 
4.8-release if you want to comply to the requirements of your software 
installation. And while you're at it, I would strongly advice you to 
upgrade all the way to 4.11, unless you have strong reasons not to.

If this does not fit you, then you either need to install an older version 
of your software, that does not require 4.7-stable or later, or not 
install the software in question at all.
