I also ran this command.

sudo apt-get install -y assimp-utils

[vaclavblazek]

The assimp-utils package contains command line tools, not developement support. Dbian/Ubuntu's naming scheme for dev packages for library xyz is libxyz-dev, i.e. libassimp-dev in this case.

BTW, VTS tools are in the ubuntu package vts-tools available in our repo, no need to build it yourself.

[danammeansbear]

So I tried sudo apt-get install vts-tools and got the error

The following packages have unmet dependencies: vts-tools : Depends: gdal-abi-2-2-3

so i did sudo apt-get install libgdal120 https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.04/ubuntu-universe-amd64/libgdal20_2.2.3+dfsg-2_amd64.deb.html and that didnt work but what did make the packages install correctly was the solution here https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/216780/cannot-install-qgis-2-18-from-repository-on-debian-stretch-package-gdal-abi-2/216898
