You probably need to develop a bit of patience, then ;-) From my experience, a build time of >= 10 minutes isn’t all that uncommon - for example, VST ( https://vst.cs.princeton.edu ) normally takes around 70 minutes to build.

Hi Theo, Laurent and Benoit,

here is what I did.

add-apt-repository ppa:avsm/ppa
apt update
apt install opam
opam init
eval $(opam env)

All went well so far and opam --version gives me 2.0.4.

I was not brave enough to try to switch ocaml compiler so I left it as it was: ocaml --version gives me
The Ocaml toplevel, version 4.05.0

Then I went to https://coq.inria.fr/opam-using.html and tried
opam pin add coq 8.10.2

But it complained about not finding m4 so I just did a sudo apt install m4, which thankfully worked.

Then the following all worked:
opam pin add coq 8.10.2
opam repo add coq-released https://coq.inria.fr/opam/released
opam install coq-coqprime

Just one piece of advice: please tell novices such as I that the make sometimes takes quite a bit of time. I thought that it had
hung because it did not do anything for about ten minutes, but just as I was typing an email to you to say so, it finished :)

Thank you for all of your prompt help!

best wishes,
raj
