Installing these dependencies prior to make build in Ubuntu.

sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libzip-dev

Thanks! Any reason you chose the dev variant of those packages? Are those the defaults for ubuntu? Also, are these packages already preinstalled? (In that case I'll just add a note to make sure they're there)

  1. Only *-dev packages contain required headers like zip.h and curl/curl.h.
  2. Zip and curl binaries might be default, but their libraries are not default.
  3. At least the 2 packages are not default in my Ubuntu 20.04 (August 2020 release version).

There is no need to worry about whether they are default. If the machine already contains those libraries, apt will cancel installation or ask user to update to prevent conflicts.

Ah, I thought dev means it is in development rather it is used for development. Makes more sense now. I'll add it 👍🏽
