1. First you need to download the source code package.
2. Uncompress the source code package.
3. Enter the folder
4. Now you need to install the required packages
   • sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libxft2-dev xorg-dev
5. Here you start with configuration, there are many compilation options. You can check them by entering 
   • ./configure --help
6. I used the following command, the python parameter is to instruct the compiler to compile the python interface 
   • ./configure --enable-opengl --prefix=/usr/local --enable-python --enable-debug<br />

7. Now the making 
   • sudo make
8. The installing 
   • sudo make install
9. Now go to 
   • gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf
10. Add the following line, do not forget to replace $ROOT by the path to the root directory on your computer 
    • $ROOT/lib
11. Save the changes to the file and then enter
    • sudo ldconfig

This worked for me.

ENJOY!
