OK.  Looks like `apt install` just gives me v2, so I removed that and I'm
back to installing from source.  I'd like to install for dev, in case I
want to experiment with writing my own booking algorithm.

Sorry, I think I'm missing something more basic; things were very broken
just following the instructions.  I do notice there is a Makefile in the
directory, is running `make` supposed to be part of the install-from-source
or install-for-dev process?

The instructions just say to run setup.py but that doesn't seem to do much.

I'm also not sure if I'm even following the right instructions since, as I
mentioned, the document itself says it's for installing v2, and the link to
instructions for installing v3 is broken (links to
https://beancount.github.io/docs/installing_beancount_v3.md )
