We have undocumented dependencies

[johnblommers]

Before I was able to install esci successfully, I had to first install the following dependencies:

sudo apt install gfortran \
                 liblapack-dev \
                 libblas-dev

Then I was able to successfully install.packages("esci") within the R commandline.

Consider updating the installation documentation to reflect the above findings.

Will look into it. I haven't encountered that issue before, but haven't done much tinkering with esci in linux. Guessing this was an issue with installing esci specifically, not for any packaged? And that it wasn't related to needing to install esci from source?
