Note that manual downloading and compiling of source codes is usually
not necessary. Using packages from Ubuntu repository should be
sufficient.

If not you can use ubuntu-gis ppa repository. This is how you add it
to your system:

apt-get -y install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
apt-get -y update

But to be honest, now I'm not sure if this ppa repository, is really necessary.

By the way, you may be interested also in this thread:
