    You only need make and gcc. If you are using Ubuntu or Linux Mint you can try:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install make build-essential
make
sudo make install

    You have to perform the last two commands in the directory where the file called Makefile is.

        gcc will get installed as part of the build-essential package that @ksynwa@lemmy.ml listed. And gcc should get called automatically by the make-command.
        So, you actually don’t have to do a manual step to put gcc somewhere.

        Did you run those commands? Did it work?

          I tried doing make it gives me an error. Also (if you have downloaded the file checked it out), if I do “sudo make install” even with the GCC compiler installed, it still does not work.

            why don’t you show or tell what this error is? people cannot telepathically know what is going wrong there.
