Basic Linux -- How to Compile Software Yourself (on Ubuntu)
Learn how to compile software from scratch on an Ubuntu Linux system! If you're sick of the outdated software offered in the Ubuntu repositories, you can get bleeding-edge code directly from the developers and compile it yourself. Here's how:
1. Download the (tarballed) software and unzip into a directory.
2. cd to that directory.
3. run "./configure"
4. run "make"
5. run "sudo make install" (or "sudo checkinstall", to register the software with the Debian package tool).
For more details and troubleshooting tips, see the video.
