How do I install make?

Solution 1:

Run the command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Chances are you will need things like gcc to actually do the building so you might as well install those as well. The build-essential package will install other tools used along with make.

Solution 2:

It definitely looks like make is installed on your box. The reply you are getting is actually an error generated by make, complaining that it can't file the Makefile (which would tell it what needs to be done)

Is there any Makefile.pl in the module you are trying to install? If so, try:

$ perl Makefile.pl
$ make

Solution 3:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y install make

(-y = answer 'yes' to any prompts)

Check the installed version:

make -v
