OpenALPR for Ubuntu 18.04

This is a slightly modified update to Daniel Kornev's excellent post which goes into more detail about why building from source is necessary on 18.04. His post was missing a few dependencies that I didn't have installed namely cmake, opencv and pkg-config. The following steps should get you a working build of openalpr on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.

If you're not working with a fresh install, this might be a good time to clean and update your system before proceeding. (Optional)

$ sudo apt update #fetch list of available updates
$ sudo apt upgrade #install updates – does not remove packages


	# Remove all cookies that do not match the following rules
	if (
	# Any HTTP POST request
	!(req.request == "POST") &&

	# Admin URLs
	!(req.url ~ "^/admin\|Security/") &&

	# Allow /dev/build and /dev/tasks URLs

	# The VirtualBox documentation[1] for how to install guest additions
	# for Linux on a virtual host is somewhat messy. So here is what
	# I did to make it work.

	# Install the packages required
	yum update
	yum install gcc kernel-devel make

	reboot
