makeMKV Linux 1.18.2 missing 'libmakemkv.so.1' file

Hello. New to linux and new to makemkv.

I was following this video step-by-step tutorial and just trying to make changes when it came to differences in makeMKV versions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klI5oB3TNuc

But at timestamp 7:40 I get the following error on my end:

/home/user/makemkv/makemkv-oss-1.18.2/out/makemkvcon: error while loading shared libraries: libmakemkv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How can I access and install or get the missing shared libraries.

Thanks for any help or guidance.

I followed those steps but get the same error: missing libmakemkv.so.1
Where can I find/download this library and where do I put it?
