Using the build script on kicad-pcb.org to compile KiCad from source. Build is version BZR5322. Note that a lot of this video is dealing with issues that pop up and narration of what is happening (installing software has never been interesting).

Install script: bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers/kicad/product/view/head:/scripts/kicad-install.sh

Example install of VirtualBox: youtube.com/watch?v=RpgjBIGl9RU
