Is there an easy to follow step by step guide on how to compile monero from source? Alot of the times I compiled previously it stops due to something missing, which goes for many times installing anything from source it seems.

This is what I did on a ubuntu 16.04.

Dependencies

First I installed all the dependencies show here

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev build-essential cmake pkg-config libboost-all-dev libzmq3-dev libunbound-dev libsodium-dev

And build this dependency manually.

sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev && cd /usr/src/gtest && sudo cmake . && sudo make && sudo mv libg* /usr/lib/

Source Code

Next get the source code via git.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/monero-project/monero

If git is not found install it via

sudo apt-get install git

Than go into the monero folder and build it via:

cd monero

make

On a oDroid c2 mini pc this took about 8-10 hours.

For me the tests fail in the end but the executables were in

monero/build/release/bin

All this information can be found in the readme from the monero repository here

Compiling from source is not easy, even for experienced users.

You sure you want to compile from source or are you really asking how to get the Cli version working on your Ubuntu software?

If that's what you want, I would start Googling questions. I don't think you'll find a step by step guide here.

make, or make release-static

Install all the things it needs and complains about.

If errors which aren't due to missing dependencies, post here

Pretty much common way - fighting complains.
