| I read the following on list. Does it apply with Mate instead of Gnome. Why is it needed to apt install gnome-orca if orca is already on Ubuntu Mate out of box and will be getting from GitHub anyway? ———- To get Orca master I copy a while ago on this mailinglist the following instructions:
1. Enable the Canonical repositories. * Open software updater. * Click the Ubuntu tab. * Check the box source repositories. * Click the other software tab. * Check the boxes next to Canonical partners and Canonical partners source repositories. * Click close. * When requested, click reload cache.
2. Open a terminal window, press Alt+Control+T.
3. Install git, type or copy and paste the following command and press Enter. sudo apt-get install git
4. Install build dependencies. Type or copy and paste the following command and press Enter. sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca
* Answer yes to the ‘do you want to continue?’ prompt.
5. Get the orca source code. Type or copy and paste the following command and press Enter. git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca.git
6. Build and install orca. !!WARNING!! Follow the steps below exactly as typed. Doing something else will mess up your environment and cause file permission problems. * Change to your orca repository created in step 5. Type the following and press Enter: cd orca
* Configure orca source. Type the following command and press Enter.: ./autogen.sh
* build orca. Type the following command and press Enter.: make
* Install the built binaries. Type or copy and paste the following command and press Enter: sudo make install
7. When install is complete, restart the system.
After you can keep up with Orca master by executing the following commands in a terminal: * first change to the orca folder cd orca * look for updates git pull * to see what changes are made git log * to update ./autogen.sh make sudo make install
