What are you asking for exactly?

It sounds like you have an issue installing dependencies, you're supposed to be using rosdep. Downloading a git repository and trying to build it wouldn't work without trying to download all the dependencies normally, would it?

had to browse and install said packages myself

This is what rosdep is for.

I'm not sure if there's an "ask" in your other comments other than noting that either the software you're looking at wasn't designed for your robot or isn't available in your distribution.
