#### Installing common system dependencies

First install fltk and the Mesa/GL libs with apt if you do not already have them on your system:

```

$ sudo apt-get install libmesa-dev mesa-common-dev libfltk1.1-dev

```

If you are running an older version, of say Ubuntu 14.xx, the install of the package ``libmesa-dev`` may fail. If this happens,

try installing the required packages in the above line by running:

$ sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev libfltk1.1-dev

```

If problems with the package names still arise, you can try searching for the correct ``mesa-dev`` package to install by issuing the following command:

```

apt-cache search mesa-dev

The above three line procedure aliases the binary name ``RNAStructVizBinary`` to the current working user's bash configuration so

you do not need to be in the source directory, or type a long file path, to get at the ``RNAStructViz`` binary we just built.

Alternately, you can install a copy of this binary to the system for use by all users by running the following sequence of commands:
81+
```
82+
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/RNAStructViz

$ sudo cp ~/RNAStructViz/src/RNAStructViz /usr/local/bin/RNAStructViz/RNAStructVizBinary
