Hi Reju,

When you first run the yt install script, you should see that it says
"Looks like you're on an Ubuntu-compatible machine." It then lists a
number of Ubuntu packages you must install first and gives you a
command to do so:

$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev build-essential libncurses5
libncurses5-dev zip uuid-dev libfreetype6-dev tk-dev

run this command first, and then yt should build without issue.

I hope this is helpful.

J. S.
