    Hello. i'm currently using a centOS server and have ssh in it. I want to install ffmpeg for my server and in one of its steps, it asks me to type in this in my ssh client:

    Make
    Make install

    I entered the following but it gives me an error saying:

    [root@mfashraf lame-3.97]# make
    -bash: make: command not found
    [root@mfashraf lame-3.97]# make install
    -bash: make: command not found

    Please help me with this. Thanks

    The make utility is not in your PATH. Make is usually installed in /usr/bin, and I'm pretty surprised it's not already in your PATH.

    do an: ls /usr/bin/make, and see if it's installed in there, if it doesn't show up, I would do a "find" command to see if it's anywhere on your system.

    im pretty sure make does not need gcc to work, it would give an error during make, but it would still start.

    If it is not a problem with the PATH, just install it from yum.

    run: "yum install make gcc"
