Building on Linux Mint 18.03

Installing Inspectrum on Mint 18.03 is troublesome as `libliquid-dev` is not available for many variants. Hence the following is hack. You may try on Ubuntu as your own risk.

sudo apt-get update -y
echo "deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful main universe" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/temp.list
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install libliquid-dev -y
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/temp.list
sudo apt-get update -y #Top important! Otherwise system can break. We only take libliquid-dev from this repo.
sudo apt-get install qt5-default libfftw3-dev cmake pkg-config -y
git clone https://github.com/miek/inspectrum
cd inspectrum
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
