This is a guide to install libfive. libfive is a very unfinished program that allows you to model volumes. In other words, you can give libfive a functional representation of a solid, and libfive will figure everything else out, and render the resulting mesh. Pretty cool.

This next step takes about two hours. Go get some coffee.
$ make
Finally, install it!
# make install
# apt-get install libeigen3-dev libpng-dev qt5-default
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/mkeeter/libfive
