    I've just installed TeXmacs in my notebook with an almost totally fresh install of Linux Mint 18.1, so I think that I've got all the required libraries. As TeXmacs isn't available at ubuntu repositories anymore, I thought that it might be good to create a small recipe for noobs to be easily able to install TeXmacs on ubuntu.

1) Update your whole system:
sudo apt-get update
2) Install all the required libraries:
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev guile-1.8-dev libqt4-dev libxext-dev automake g++ libgmp3-dev subversion
3) Create the directory for installing texmacs:
mkdir ~/texmacs
4) Enter into the installing directory:
cd ~/texmacs
5) Download the latest source code: 
svn co svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/texmacs/trunk/src
    OBS: This procedure will install the latest ("unstable") version of
    texmacs, because I had issues compiling the stable version. Anyway,
    despite the name, this version works pretty well.

    

    6) Get into src directory:

    
cd src

    

    7) Run configure (step 1 for compiling):

    
sudo ./configure



    8) Run make (step 2 for compiling):

    
sudo make


    

    9) Run make install (step 3 for compiling)

    
sudo make install

    

    10) Open texmacs:

    
texmacs &


    

        Feel free to adapt this text (and correct the several grammar
    mistakes that I've certainly have done here) and to post it at
    texmacs web site. I feel that that site is missing a tutorial recipe
    for newbies at ubuntu. Just my five cents to help spread this
    amazing piece of software.
