Install prerequisites
-----------------------
If you are on a relatively modern system, you'll likely be able to install
the prerequisites using your OS's packaging system.
### Install using apt (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS)
```sh
sudo apt install git
sudo apt install autoconf automake libtool
sudo apt install valgrind # optional
```
Then start from the "git clone" command, above.
### Manually install and build autoconf, automake and libtool
For older OS's that don't have up-to-date version of the packages will
require a bit more work. For example, CentOS release 5.11, etc...
```sh
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.15.tar.gz
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.6b.tar.gz
tar xzf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
tar xzf automake-1.15.tar.gz
tar xzf libtool-2.2.6b.tar.gz
