Install make using the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
choco install make
Once installed, build the application as normal.
Manual Install Method
=====================
The pre-built make application can be downloaded from
https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm by either getting both the
``Binaries`` and ``Dependencies`` and extracting them to the same folder, or
getting the ``Complete package`` setup. Once installed and in the path, build
the application as normal.
