+## Install Build Dependencies
+
+The following are the steps to install dependencies for Wordprocessor applications:
+
+1. Update the package index on your Ubuntu system:
+
+```shell
+sudo apt-get update
+```
+
+2. Install the cmake, g++ compiler, lcov coverage tool, Google Test and Google Mock libraries and headers using apt-get:
+
+```shell
+sudo apt-get install -y googletest
+```
+
+3. Once the installation is complete, navigate to the /usr/src/googletest directory:
+
+```shell
+cd /usr/src/googletest
+```
+
+4. Build the Google Test and Google Mock libraries:
+
+```shell
+sudo cmake CMakeLists.txt
+sudo make
+```
+
+5. Copy the compiled library files to the system library directory:
+
+```shell
+sudo cp lib/*.a /usr/lib
+```
