I'm trying to install "yum" or "apt-get" into my system "ubuntu centOS". I did download the binary files for these two programs from the internet using the command wget. but after decompressing the files using the command "tar -zxvf "filename" ,then configuring the file "./configuring", and then when I want to use the command "make" I get the following error "make: not found".

I have searched for a method to download the "make" command but all the methods I found on the net use either the command "yum" or "apt-get" and I don't have any of them.

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
