 +The following shell command-line/script file((made executable with chmod +x)) can be used to install the required and recommended packages on **Debian**-based Linux distros (e.g. **Ubuntu**):
 +
 +<file sh install-sbbs-deps.sh>
 +  sudo apt install build-essential perl zip git gdb libarchive-dev libncursesw5-dev libnspr4-dev libmosquitto-dev libsystemd-dev libcap-dev xorg-dev libsdl2-dev libgtk-3-dev libglade2-dev python3 python-is-python3 lrzsz gkermit

 +==== CentOS 7 ====
 +
 +To be able to use Mosquitto for MQTT, you will need to add the EPEL repo. Execute the following command as root:
 +
 +  yum -y install epel-release
 +  
 +Now install the development tools:
 +
 +  yum group install "Development Tools"
 +  
 +and finally the rest of the prerequisite packages
 +
 +  yum install libarchive-devel nspr-devel ncurses-devel libcap-devel systemd-devel xorg-x11-server-devel SDL-devel lrzsz gkermit mosquitto-devel
