Hi,

I installed QGIS specifically to view LIDAR data but, when I tried to open a 
.LAZ file, I got "LAS and LAZ files cannot be opened by this QGIS install."

Selecting 'More info' gives me:

====
LAS and LAZ files cannot be opened by this QGIS install.
This QGIS build does not include the PDAL library dependency required for 
opening LAS or LAZ point clouds.
====

I installed on Debian from the instructions here:
https://www.qgis.org/resources/installation-guide/#debian-ubuntu

QGIS version: 3.38.0-Grenoble revision 37aa6188bc3

Do I need to build QGAL from source and enable PDAL manually?  I _really_ hope 
not but, if it's the only way, I'll use the instructions here:  
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Is it possible to limit the interaction with the base OS (eg: install under 
home dir)?
Any hints and tips appreciated!  

:-)

Cheers,
bitrat
