+* `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade` to install all of the latest software
+
+* Install the dependencies for Monero except libunwind and libboost-all-dev
+
+* Increase the system swap size

+	sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
+	sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
+	CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024
+	sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start
+
+* Install the latest version of boost (this may first require invoking `apt-get remove --purge libboost*` to remove a previous version if you're not using a clean install)
+
+	cd
+	wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.62.0/boost_1_62_0.tar.bz2
+	tar xvfo boost_1_62_0.tar.bz2	
+	cd boost_1_62_0
