On Ubuntu 20.04, you can install the development versions of the prerequisites with:
TODO: complete the list, many packages are required...
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev python3 libpython3-dev python3-numpy cmake
To run tests on memory usage, you need the python3 package python3-psutil.
Commandline options (adapt the paths):
-DPYTHON_PREFERED_VERSION:STRING="3.8" -DPLUGIN_STANDARD_QM3C2:BOOL="1" -DBUILD_PY_TESTING:BOOL="1" -DPYTHONAPI_TEST_DIRECTORY:STRING="projets/CloudComPy/Data" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING="RelWithDebInfo" -DCCCORELIB_USE_CGAL:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_STANDARD_QRANSAC_SD:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_EXAMPLE_IO:BOOL="1" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="/home/paul/projets/CloudComPy/installRelease" -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL="1" -DOPTION_USE_GDAL:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_GL_QEDL:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_IO_QCSV_MATRIX:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_GL_QSSAO:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_STANDARD_QPCL:BOOL="0" -DPLUGIN_IO_QADDITIONAL:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_STANDARD_QCOMPASS:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_STANDARD_QMPLANE:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_IO_QPHOTOSCAN:BOOL="1" -DPYTHONAPI_TRACES:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_IO_QE57:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_STANDARD_QBROOM:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_EXAMPLE_STANDARD:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_STANDARD_QPOISSON_RECON:BOOL="1" -DPLUGIN_EXAMPLE_GL:BOOL="1"```
I use clang series compilers, but it should work with g++,gcc as well. Options to set with cmake-gui or ccmake (adapt the paths):

After the CMake configuration and generation, run make (adapt the parallel option -j to your processor):
make -j12 && make test && make install
make test creates Point Cloud datasets and executes Python tests scripts using the cloudCompare module.
The tests are installed in <install-dir>/doc/PythonAPI_test, with shell scripts to set the PYTHONPATH and launch one test.
When in <install-dir>/doc/PythonAPI_test, ctest launches all the tests.
The CloudCompare GUI is installed in <install-dir>/bin/CloudCompare, and works as usual.
