Hello,

CGAL is packaged in Ubuntu. Even if you are not going to use that package 
(for instance you want a more recent version), the package still contains 
useful information.

apt build-dep cgal

will install the packages that must be installed to build the Ubuntu cgal 
package (may require sudo, etc).

apt show libcgal-demo

look at the Suggests: field, the packages listed there are all relevant to 
some demos.

The newer version of CGAL may have new requirements, but not very often 
unless you are using an ancient version of Ubuntu, and the old 
requirements are still a good starting point.
