Mint 18.3: Installation of some of the build dependencies failed. Aborting.

[zanhe]

I read through this thread (link), and decided to install AviDemux through github, after GetDeb failed (picture link).

There are contents located in the directory: /home/ken/avidemux2, but even after restarting the computer, nothing came up in the menu panel -> all applications.

This is the full message of trying to install from GitHub

ken@KGA-880GMA-UD2H ~ $ cd ~/avidemux2
ken@KGA-880GMA-UD2H ~/avidemux2 $ bash createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash
This will install all the packages necessary to build avidemux

You have broken the package management by adding non-functional GetDeb repositories. Please fix this first, this is a general Linux system administration task, not related to Avidemux support.

You likely haven't built and installed Avidemux (the script failed in the dependency install phase), and even if you build it successfully, nothing would come up in the menu. Feel free to add a launcher for /usr/bin/avidemux3_qt5 yourself, it is not supplied by the application. Once built and installed, you should be able to launch Avidemux in the terminal though:
