1. Visit the official ACADO website to learn about it
2. Install dependencies with sudo apt-get install gcc g++ cmake git doxygen gnuplot graphviz
3. Navigate to the directory where you like to keep third-party source repositories
4. Get the ACADO source code with git clone https://github.com/acado/acado.git -b stable ACADOtoolkit
5. Prepare a build directory for ACADO with cd ACADOtoolkit && mkdir build && cd build
6. Build the ACADO source code with cmake .. && make -j
7. Run a test with ../examples/getting_started/simple_ocp (should result in a nice plot)
8. If the test was successful, install the ACADO build globally with sudo make install && sudo ldconfig
9. Navigate back to the acado_demo root directory
10. Examine the source files to understand the ACADO interface
11. Examine the build script to understand minimally compiling with ACADO
12. Run ./build.sh -r
