i'm installing anaconda since it is the distribution system that appears most supported by liblsl, and i don't see any more normative information on integrating liblsl with ubuntu. i'm hoping conda has a faint chance of automatically updating, or notifying if something is out of date :S
i still don't know whether this system has ble. it's a mac, it's a tower, it's from 2012; there's likely a build string on a sticker somewhere
