The Dockerfile runs as root, whereas the average user with a Linux laptop won't be, so best to include the sudo in these instructions.

You could include this bit on line 20 so the person working through the instructions can do that all in one go.

Does this install to a directory that requires root access? If so it needs sudo, but for all the other packages we build from source we do the bulk of the build as non-root and just the install as root, i.e. this sequence occurs multiple times in this file:
make
sudo make install
Maybe there's an equivalent for Python like:
make
sudo make altinstall
Or if not then probably the whole build needs to be under sudo.

Reading the makefile the altinstall target does not overwrite any current installations by updating softlinks etc. We will use altinstall rather than install and be explicit by invoking python with the full path
