What I've done thus far

Install QMKL

But before:

Increase video memory!

Note that can be done for Python 3 or 2. For the later installing QMKL it needs to be in Python 2 (sudo python setup.py install).

Install qasm2 (qpu-assembler2)

Also when something went wront, undo by make clean and/or debuild clean.
