Install Exaile player 4.0 from source

Exaile music player version 4.0 brings a lot of changes but there is no deb or PPA available.
I have downloaded it from here, unpacked it and installed it following the instructions from INSTALL file, namely just doing
$ make
# make install
which gives no errors.
But there is no Exaile desktop launcher in the usual location (usr/share/applications). Instead, it is in usr/local/share/applications, which has the line Exec=exaile --quiet %F.
But the executable is not present in usr/bin, it is instead in usr/local/bin.
I have got the normal installation locations by doing the following (after uninstalling with make uninstall): I have edited the Makefile script and replaced line
PREFIX = /usr/local
with
PREFIX = /usr
But this doesn't fix it. Now (in Budgie Remix) I have Exaile in the menu launcher (desktop file in usr/share/applications and executable in usr/bin) but it doesn't start it.
In terminal:
~$ exaile
ERROR : Unhandled exception
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/exaile/xl/main.py", line 329, in __init__
self.mainloop_init()
File "/usr/lib/exaile/xl/main.py", line 595, in mainloop_init
import dbus
ImportError: No module named dbus
Here it says the following:
PREFIX The installation prefix. Default: /usr/local Note: If this
default is changed, you may need to set the XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variable to include the changed path. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html.
But that surpasses my competence.
Could this be fixed to work in Ubuntu 16.04?

Is your system missing thepython-dbuspackage? I don't think the installation directory /PREFIXvariable is the issue here -/usr/local/share/applicationsis a standard location for .desktop files and personally I wouldn't changePREFIXso that/usris reserved for packages that are installed from repos.

As indicated by @steeldriver in a comment, this may have been a problem with python-dbus package. But that was already installed (python-dbus 1.2.0-3.)
When in relation to a separate question I have seen that the same package was listed as not needed anymore and good to be removed, and after removing it with a lot more others with sudo apt autoremove, I decided to try again by installing it manually.
After sudo apt install python-dbus, the very same python-dbus 1.2.0-3 appeared installed, but then Exaile was installed and run successfully with just
make
sudo make install
To avoid an issue with the seek bar being absent:
sudo apt install python-gi-cairo
Update for 18.04:
Before running the make and installation commands in the source folder, some packages are needed:
sudo apt install python-dbus python-mutagen python-gi-cairo make

Thanks for the addendum, that information was nowhere in the official docs! (At least not in an up-to-date form immediately applicable to Ubuntu 18.04.)
