Ubuntu – How to install make

makesoftware installation

/usr/bin/perl install-module.pl --all
ERROR: Using install-module.pl requires that you install "make".

I need to install make on my ubuntu on AWS EC2. How can I do that ?
I could finally install build-essential also successfully.

# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Best Answer

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.
