Package downloaded as avogadro-1.2.0.tar.gz and put in the home/src folder; extracted to the same folder. I got as far as step 2 from the INSTALL folder, here ...
Requirements
============
-- CMake 2.8.9 or later (2.8.11 recommended)
-- Qt 4.6.0 or later (4.8.5 recommended)
-- OpenBabel 2.3.x or later (development version from
http://github.org/openbabel/openbabel is recommended)
-- Eigen 2.0.x or later (3.x also supported)
Basic Installation
==================
These instructions give a very basic overview of how to configure, compile and
install Avogadro on most systems. If you are using unique install locations
and/or libraries are not automatically detected please consult the 'Advanced'
section.
1. Create a 'build' directory in the package source directory.
mkdir build
cd build
2. Configure the build system
cmake ../
3. Compile
make -j2
4. Install
sudo make install
that is, after typing
cmake ../
I got the following errors,
darren@darren-Vostro-3560:~/src/avogadro-1.2.0/build$ cmake ../
-- The build type is RelWithDebInfo
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:1314 (message):

with the CMakeOutput.log saying, snipped since too long but can be supplied.
and the CMakeError.log saying,
