/******************** NOTES *****************/
When you run "./configure" you might get an error that no g++,c++... compiler is available.
You can run "apt-get install build-essential" to solve this.

If you get an error that no openSSL is not available you can either configure it without them (--without-ssl) or you can install libssl by running:
apt-get install libssl-dev
