For the sake of brevity I will just say that I know I am missing some of the required libraries and/or binaries needed to install but I am unable to decipher the exact packages I need from the Read me file in the zip package. If anyone is able to help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I do not have any experience building packages, but from the read me file it seems fairly straight forward. I only have limited experience with Kubuntu in general and using the command line so please let me know if there is any more information you might need from me.

Zoltan,
I appreciate you responding to my question. I am using Kubunutu 20.04 LTS so it was not in the repository for me, at least not without modifying the repository sources, which I wasn't sure of how to do for a different release repository (I've added ppa's a couple of times but that was all.)
The link to the list of dependencies got me what I needed though and I was able to successfully build and start the program. I appreciate your help and look forward to getting some time to look through it.
