r/git on Reddit: Bash: make: command not found
January 13, 2022 -

I'm trying to install vim with git per the [websites instructions](https://www.vim.org/git.php) and when I try to run "make", git returns "bash: make: command not found". I found a [thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36770716/mingw64-make-build-error-bash-make-command-not-found) about it on stack overflow saying to install and use either chocolatey or ezwinports but I cant get it to work. Can someone help me out please. Its probably something simple I'm doing wrong but I cant seem to figure it out.

Hi all. I'm trying to install one of those local A.i programs. Using Manjaro KDE. I have the install command from github, but here is the output from the terminal:

Looks like everything was going well for awhile there. Any idea why I couldn't complete the installation? Thank you

r/cs50 on Reddit: "bash: make: command not found" whenever I use 'make' command
April 18, 2022 -

This is my first ever code using Codespaces and I have used both the VS browser and the desktop I have been getting the same "bash: make: command not found".

I have ensured that I am in the Mario-less folder using 'cd' command and also opened the file using 'code' command everything was good so far but I am not able to compile the program using the 'make mario'.

I have looked at old reddit posts and the internet and I still cant find a solution. You all would be Godsent if this gets solved and I this close to losing it as I have been trying it for days! Thank You!

How to Solve Make Command Not Found Error in Linux Bash | Delft Stack
March 14, 2025 - The make utility automates the process of building and managing dependencies in software projects. It reads a file called Makefile, which contains rules and instructions for compiling code. When you encounter the “command not found” error, it usually means that make is not installed on your system or it’s not in your PATH.
