Apologies if the following isn't very clear and is very item specific, but I'm just very confused with what to do next and can't find any answers on google.

I am trying to install beschulz's WAV2PNG software on a Ubuntu server.

I've followed the directions on the page to get the required software :

apt-get install make g++ libsndfile1-dev libpng++-dev libpng12-dev libboost-program-options-dev

Which seems to have installed correctly, but next it's saying that I need to build it and I can't work out how to do this.

The docs say :

cd build
make all

Which i've tried but I just get :

-bash: cd: build: No such file or directory

This is the first time i've had to "build" anything after downloading it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are supposed to have performed a git clone on the Github repository.

you@vnix$ git clone https://github.com/beschulz/wav2png.git
.... stuff happens ...

you@vnix$ cd wav2png/build

you@vnix$ make all
... lots and lots of stuff happens ...

If this is your first time, things are likely to fail in interesting and/or intriguing ways. You probably want to make sure you are in an environment where you can scroll back and look at error messages and copy/paste them into Google or a new question (tmux, screen, and Emacs ansi-term are all popular alternatives, although a terminal with a big enough scrollback buffer and reasonable keyboard bindings to navigate it would be a good start already).
