Terminator terminal gnome-terminator for Ubuntu 20.04

In this link it said, It's strongly recommended to install Terminator using your OS's package system rather than using setup.py yourself.

I just finished my college and installed Ubuntu 20.04 ❤️
And my coworker suggests me to use Terminator terminal

Now, i am confused how exactly installed Terminator in Ubuntu 20.04 based INSTALL.md

Do i have to run this apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo python3-psutil python3-configobj gir1.2-keybinder-3.0 gir1.2-vte-2.91 gettext intltool dbus-x11 first ? and then python3 setup.py build

And what is exactly "strongly recommended to install Terminator using OS's package ?"
I scroll-down and It brings me to here and then i looked for Ubuntu 20.04 focal
And what should i do ?

Sorry for this dumb question, i am trying to understand the instruction 🙉
Should i install it by running these steps
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --record=install-files.txt

there are now three ways of installing terminator on ubuntu on 20.04

  1. Install the latest release packaged by ubuntu: sudo apt install terminator This will install 1.92, I think. If that's good enough, I suggest you stick with that, unless you're hitting a bug that has since been fixed
  2. If you can't run the version maintained by ubuntu you can Install the latest 2.0.1 release via a PPA I set up:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mattrose/terminator
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install terminator
  1. If you really want to be on the bleeding edge, and are willing to help me test out new features and bugfixes, you Install it from the git repository and keep that up-to-date:
git clone https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator.git 
cd terminator
python3 setup.py build
sudo python3 setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --record=install-files.txt

I've got to update the README I think

PS: Congrats on finishing college!
