I am trying to install the control package for octave on linux manjaro and keep getting this error

I've tried literally dragging and dropping the control package from my downloads to octave download directory.

You need /usr/bin/make, and it isn't installed yet.

Use:

$ sudo apt install make build-essential

(I threw in a few extras that you'll be needing soon enough.)
