So I did this recently after the 20.10 release. It was a bit a a game. I ended up installing all of the dependencies as per the git hub recommendations separately and ended up with about two that would not install so I went looking for the older packages in the ubuntu package directory. The Groovy Gorilla has the libcfitio9 installed but you can get the io8 version from the ubuntu packages repository ( packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libcfitsio8 ) and install it as a deb package. It will solve some of the dependency issues. I still was unable to install indi-full however. However this is not really needed.
I ended up doing sudo apt-get install kstars-bleeding on it's own. Then installing libindi1 as a separate package and indi-bin I think. Then I just chose the individual drivers that I needed for my set up (asi, myfocuserpro2 and eqmod). I had a few crashes with eqmod but then it all settled down and now appears to work. I keep seeing the gsc not found but this could now be part of kstars bleeding but I am just guessing as the KStars ekos/limited indi appears to work ok now.
I did this purely for "fun" there is no way I would trust it this early on. Clear nights are a rarity at the moment.

Cheers,

Mike
