This is the recipe I use for testing each new build on Linux Mint (18.02):

conda create -n leo-build
conda activate leo-build
conda install pip
git clone --depth=200 https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor.git
cd leo-editor
git checkout tags/5.8
pip install --editable .
leo

Without conda* the debian install method should be as simple as:

cd ~
sudo apt install git
git clone --depth=200 https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor.git
cd ~/leo-editor
git checkout devel
pip3 install --editable ~/leo-editor

This should get all the dependencies including Qt5. There are complexities 
to do with System vs User-space install locations and when to/not to use 
`sudo pip` which I haven't wrapped my head around though. Pip3 forces 
python3 instead of 2, which is more reliable for installing Leo's 
dependencies.

After this `leo` from any terminal will launch Leo.

* Use miniconda instead of Anaconda, which is huge. -

hope this helps,
