Errors you may encouter:

```

sudo apt install pkg-config libasound2-dev libudev-dev cmake build-essential xorg-dev
```

2. glfw incompatible version

```bash
Package dependency requirement 'glfw3 >= 3.4.0' could not be satisfied.
Package 'glfw3' has version '3.3.10', required version is '>= 3.4.0'
```

```bash
cd /tmp
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/glfw3/libglfw3_3.4-4_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/glfw3/libglfw3-dev_3.4-4_amd64.deb
