I don't really care for LTS, it's just that Mint happens to be built on
top of Ubuntu 14.04, and I prefer it over normal Ubuntu. I tried
downloading the tarball from the official website, which said building
instructions would be in an INSTALL file, and then not providing the
file in the tarball. Any help setting up 3.18 would be appreciated.
