In order to make it compatible with the system used in JUICE the 
it is recommended to use **<ins>Ubuntu 20.04</ins>** or older.

## Prerequisites
- gcc (min v. 9)
- cmake (min v. 3.25)
- python (min v. 3.10)

## Prerequisites installation procedure
In case the required tools are not installed the following procedure can be used:
You can chose to install the tools separately or simply using the macro:
```sh
sudo apt update 
sudo apt install build-essential 
```
This will install cmake, gcc and python.

The cmake version coming with the build-essential package is older than the minimum required to build osve so it needs to be updated:
  ```sh
  $ sudo apt remove --purge cmake
  $ hash -r
  $ sudo snap install cmake --classic
  ```
