It is quite easy:
 unpack tarball

 make

It doesn't work.
I clicked "Download" at Sourceforge site. Unzipped it in a directory. Changed to that directory. Tried qmake5 ../MathMod.pro. Said it doesn't know what qmake5 is but I could install it with a sudo apt ... . Did that. Then same command this time said cannot find file ../MathMod.pro (it is sitting right there!).
Then I went another route. I did sudo apt install MathMod. It said:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package MathMod
So it wants a package, and there's no package for it.
Winblow can defecate on top of this for good reasons :)
