Notes for Ubuntu 10.04

These are sufficient instructions to get the software running on Ubuntu 10.04. As of Apr. 2010, it is the long term support (LTS) version of Ubuntu. I plan to update these instructions for every future LTS version.

Please let me know if you encounter difficulties!

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Install required software:

$ sudo apt-get install subversion git-core cmake libcairo2-dev ncurses-dev g++
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools python-numpy
$ sudo apt-get install python-nose python-matplotlib  python-virtualenv

Notes for Ubuntu 8.04
