Compiling and Installing Source Code in Ubuntu

  1. Acquire the source code, and untar it if need be. See Linux: Acquiring Source Code
  2. Ensure the root directory and its subdirectories and files have the access permissions set correctly. i.e. not read-only.
  3. Enter the command below from the sources root directory, breaking up the three individual commands if needed.
    sudo ./configure && make && make install
