wget https://xds.mr.mpg.de/XDS-INTEL64_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz --no-check-certificate
# For some reason, wget cannot verify the server's SSL Certificates, add the --no-check-certificate parameter to igonre it

tar -xzvf XDS-INTEL64_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
mv XDS-INTEL64_Linux_x86_64 /usr/local/bin/

mkdir -p $HOME/xds-dep && cd $_
wget -N https://wiki.uni-konstanz.de/pub/linux_bin/get_folder.sh
chmod +x get_folder.sh
sudo ./get_folder.sh
rm -rf $HOME/xds-dep

#As root, programs will be installed into /usr/local/bin/linux_bin, and links them to /usr/local/bin.
#As a normal user, programs will be installed to HOME/bin/linux_bin, and linked to your $HOME/bin.

sudo apt install -y libxcb-xinerama0 xxdiff libqt5gui5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5opengl5

3. Option: check the installation(you may encounter the graphics packages error):

ldd `which xdsgui` | grep found
# The command should show you the libraries it didn't find.
# Then you can install the libraries with commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install -y <PackageName>

4. XDS plugin that reads hdf5 files:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev cmake git libgtk-3-dev qt5-default
git clone https://github.com/dectris/neggia && cd neggia
mkdir build && cd $_
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build .
sudo cp src/dectris/neggia/plugin/dectris-neggia.so /usr/local/bin/linux_bin
