[FIX] cmake "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" error

If you come across this error while using cmake to build from source:

CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found. Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.

It means that you don't have the build tools installed (the g++ in this case).

Fix

Open a terminal window and run:

sudo apt-get install build-essential -y
