I am having a problem that doesn't seem to be common based on searching various forums.
I cannot run the Make command.
Message:
The program 'make' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install makeSo do this:
sudo apt-get install make
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

make is already the newest version.

Run this command to install make and all the packages needed to build your code.
sudo apt-get install build-essentialProbably it is due command make is not present in system PATH, so remove and reinstall it.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall makeRun command:
sudo apt-get updateto update package lists. After this,
sudo apt-get install makeI was coming from a background of installing WSL2 just today and was surprised to find that packages like make weren't already there, as I was so used to them being.
Then I realized my Ubuntu is a bit of a "clean slate". So I decided to update it to get essential development packages as per 'standard' recommendation, I guess:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremoveSource:
Edit: Install pip, too!
Run
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Before running make, you might also need to generate a Makefile first.
Run
./configure
Then the make command
First you should update your packages and then install "make".
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make
