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.

I have no idea what linux distribution "ubuntu centOS" is. Ubuntu and CentOS are two different distributions.

To answer the question in the header: To install make in ubuntu you have to install build-essentials

sudo apt-get install build-essential

I am assuming you want to write a new program and distribute it as a Debian package in Ubuntu.

Suppose you have the bash script, hello, and you have marked it as executable

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello World"

1. Now create a Debian package which will place this hello file in /usr/bin. The linked answer is about a single python script, but it works the same way with a bash script. Once installed, it can be run from the terminal with:

   username@computer~$ hello
   

2. Upload the Debian source to a Launchpad PPA, so that users can add it to their system, and subsequently download it with apt.

3. You can later submit it to Debian's repositories, so that it can be directly installed in Ubuntu and other derivatives of Debian (although I don't know if Debian maintainers allow simple bash scripts to be added to their repositories. But you can put any program in your own Launchpad PPA).
