Try to install n using third-party-installers on WSL (ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS). Got the below error:

lindu@LAPTOP-C8AFGSGK:~$ sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mklement0/n-install/stable/bin/n-install | bash

n-install: ERROR:
  GNU Make not found, which is required for operation.
  On FreeBSD and PC-BSD, for instance, you can download it with `sudo pkg install gmake`.

And try to run the command from the error message, but got the error:

~$ sudo pkg install gmake
sudo: pkg: command not found

How to solve this?

According to the documentation for n-install, make needs to be installed.

Supported platforms and prerequisites

Among the platforms supported by n, any Unix-like platform with the following is supported:

  • bash
  • curl
  • git
  • GNU make

On ubuntu/ubuntu-wsl, the following can be executed to install the required dependencies

sudo apt-get install git curl make bash
