cd  # go home
mkdir -p repos; cd repos  # make $HOME/repos if it doesn't exist; then, enter it
git clone https://github.com/roboticslab-uc3m/dextra-yarp-devices.git  # Download yarp-devices software from the repository
cd dextra-yarp-devices; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..  # Configure the dextra-yarp-devices software
make -j$(nproc)  # Compile
sudo make install  # Install :-)
sudo ldconfig  # Just in case

For additional options use ccmake instead of cmake.
