Hi Jonas,

I support a install script for Ubuntu, it sould work totally fine it is
located at the first post in the below linked topic:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3995908

The non stable version will compile against the experimental branch. Be
aware that you might get a broken resolution with this branch.

Kind regards,

Jelle
