Run extras/install_mkl.sh to install it.

@sjtuytc Thanks for replying I have successfully run extras/install_mkl.sh after that when I run extras/check_dependencies.sh I'm getting this error

extras/check_dependencies.sh 
extras/check_dependencies.sh: gfortran is not installed

but it is already there

apt list gfortran
Listing... Done

If you peek into the script at the check being performed, you'll see this: https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi/blob/9d235864c3105c3b72feb9f19a219dbae08b3a41/tools/extras/check_dependencies.sh#L75-L78 where the function have is defined as https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi/blob/9d235864c3105c3b72feb9f19a219dbae08b3a41/tools/extras/check_dependencies.sh#L19 It seems that gfortran package is downloaded but not installed, or broken. Try running commands like

$ gfortran --version
$ which -a gfortran
$ type gfortran
$ echo $PATH

and this will give you an idea why it could not be found. You know what your PATH should look like. Check dpkg installation flags: they must show ii for a completely installed and configured package (I'm using gcc as an example--I don't have gfortran), the flags are to the left of package name, line 6 here:

$ dpkg -l gcc
      1 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
      2 | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
      3 |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
      4 ||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
      5 +++-==============-============-============-=================================
      6 ii  gcc            4:8.3.0-1    amd64        GNU C compiler

The meaning of letters in line 6 is explained above. Sometimes packages end up in downloaded but not installed or left in an unconfigured state: apt only downloads packages, but it's the dpkg which is then called to install it. apt list shows that you have downloaded a package; it's not a good source of further info. A misconfigured apt may fail early attempting to install the package. Always use dpkg -l, it's the source of truth what is installed and what requires attention.

If anything is not right, reinstall the package with

$ sudo apt install --reinstall gfortran

Pay close attention to apt errors. Sometimes users have completely dysfunctional apt and keep ignoring its errors. If you encounter errors, https://askubuntu.com is the best place to look for an answer.

I'm closing this issue, because it is a question, not a feature proposal or a defect report. We have a forum that is the best place to ask questions, and getting answers and input from other users as well. We are hanging out there all the time, too. Here, in the issue tracker, we are just too few.
