00:00.870 --> 00:06.660
In this course, I'll be using make, which is a really good and very commonly used build tool, and

00:06.660 --> 00:07.740
of course this is optional.

00:07.750 --> 00:10.980
If you don't want to do this, you can just run the software the way that you normally do.

00:11.730 --> 00:17.160
But I highly recommend you install, make and I'll be providing build scripts or make scripts, make

00:17.160 --> 00:20.160
recipes, as they're called as we go on in this course.

00:20.340 --> 00:23.490
So this is the documentation for make itself.

00:23.490 --> 00:25.950
And I've put a link to this in the course resources for this.

00:26.430 --> 00:28.500
And there's a couple of different ways to install it.

00:28.500 --> 00:34.740
But if you're on a Mac far and away, the easiest is to use homebrew and you install homebrew by copying

00:34.740 --> 00:36.960
this link, pasting it into a terminal window.

00:37.200 --> 00:43.200
And when you've done so, you can install make just by opening your favorite terminal and typing to

00:43.440 --> 00:46.550
install make and that will install it for you.

00:46.560 --> 00:49.400
And when you're done, you'll be able to run make right from the command line.

00:49.830 --> 00:51.690
But if you're on windows, it's a little bit different.

00:51.790 --> 00:58.080
And since most people these days run Windows 10 and some have made it to Windows 11, the equivalent

00:58.080 --> 01:00.900
of homebrew for Windows is called chocolaty.

01:01.140 --> 01:02.310
And you can install that.

01:02.310 --> 01:04.570
And there's a link to this in the course resources right here.

01:04.590 --> 01:06.930
The instructions for doing so are pretty straightforward.

01:07.290 --> 01:11.280
And once you've done that, you'll open windows and I'm on a Mac, so I'm going to pretend I'm on windows

01:11.280 --> 01:11.790
right now.

01:12.390 --> 01:22.950
And you would type Choko, install Mac and that will install a version of MAKE that is suitable for

01:22.950 --> 01:23.630
this course.

01:24.030 --> 01:26.400
So go ahead and install, make and let's move on.
