First download Google Test from here. Extract the downloaded zip file to a directory of your choice.
After extraction, you will see a folder named googletest-master. Enter this folder.
Inside the googletest-master folder, you will see these two folders: googletest and googlemock.
To compile and test run google test, go to the googletest directory. There you will see a make directory. Go inside the make directory and type 'make'.
Executing the make command will create the executable file, sample1_unittest. You can then run this executable file:
kuyu@castor-ub:~/dkuyu/bin/googletest-master/googletest/make$ pwd; ls
/home/kuyu/dkuyu/bin/googletest-master/googletest/make

You can follow similar steps to compile and test run Google Mock in Ubuntu. From the googletest-master directory, go to the googlemock/make directory. Then type make. The executable created by the make command is named gmock_test.
You can actually study the Makefile file in the googletest/make and googlemock/make directories. There you can edit the GTEST_DIR, USER_DIR, and GMOCK_DIR (for googlemock).
