Compiling from source


is also helpful.

However, this does not install TeX which are required for development branch 
build.
sudo apt build-dep gnuplot
installs a lot of TeX package (texlive) .

But I should  install "texlive-generic-recommended
sudo apt install texlive-generic-recommended

unless you already install it.
