-# CVXOPT, an Augur dependency, does not have pre-built binaries for linux/arm64¹.

-# First, add system deps for building²:
-# - gcc: C compiler.
-# - libc6-dev: C libraries and header files.
-# - libopenblas-dev: Contains optimized versions of BLAS and LAPACK.
-# - SuiteSparse: Download the source code so it can be built alongside CVXOPT.

-# Then, "install" (build) separately since the process requires a special
-# environment variable³.
