@douglaswth there is no package for ubuntu 16.10 yet, but you should be able to build from source with ./build.sh script.

I would also like to note that it would be really, really easy for you to take that list of scattered commands and put it in the “else” section of build.sh. It’s sort of incomprehensible that it wasn’t done.

I will also grant that a more careful reading of the instructions might have led me to understand that I need to perform several different commands. However, it would have been very clear if all of the pieces necessary to perform a manual build were just listed directly in the section “Manual Build”.
