install bioawk in unix system

Question

[newbiebio]

I tried to install bioawk under subsystem for UNIX base in windows. I followed the below instruction http://ged.msu.edu/angus/tutorials-2012/monday-june-11-links.html

However, when I typed make, bash told me that it cannot find make command. And there is only 'makefile' under bioawk folder and no 'make'.

Dear chenmengutd, Hi.

You can try "which make" to check if make is already installed.

If it is not installed, you can use "apt-get install make".

Also have a look at Make Command Not Found, please.

conda is a great tool for installing software and dependencies, also available for bioawk

You will probably have to install the development tools in the subsystem. Try running "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
