Installation gflags on Ubuntu 14.04

On Ubuntu or Debian machine You can get related packages doing something like this:

$ apt-cache search gflags

Output on my machine (Ubuntu 14.04):

libgflags-dev - commandline flags module for C++ (development files)

libgflags-doc - documentation of gflags

libgflags2 - commandline flags module for C++ (shared library)

python-gflags - Python implementation of the Google command line flags module

python-google-apputils - Google Application Utilities for Python

So, I presume You could install it using it's full name like this:

$ sudo apt-get install libgflags2 libgflags-dev
