 Armadillo can work without the above libraries, but its functionality will be reduced.
 Basic functionality will be available (eg. matrix addition and multiplication),

 Matrix multiplication (mainly for big matrices) may not be as fast.
 
 As Armadillo is a template library, we recommended that optimisation
