In terms of building orca, the standard procedure should work i.e. enable source repositories, install dependencies via: sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca clone the orca repo, switch to the Gnome 44 branch and compile & install using: PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 ./autogen.sh make sudo make install It's not a one-liner, but quite straight-forward. For updating, you just pull and repeat the commands from running autogen.
