## Installation of Make

Prepare Make for compilation:

    ./configure --prefix=/tools

Compile the program:

    make

As discussed earlier, we don't recommend running the test suites for the temporary tools here in this chapter. If you still want to run the Make test suite anyway, the following command will do so:

    make check

Then install it and its documentation:

    make install
