Getting an error when I try to install dwm by running the command sudo make clean install

error is: sudo: make: command not found

#

I do have sudo on the user

#

and went into the archiso AFTER installing arch already - i followed the official manual install guide

#

in the archiso i wrote the command: pacstrap /mnt base base-level

waxen atlas
#

Can you update the system and make sure make is installed?

ancient raptor
#

to install base and base level

waxen atlas
#

Try pacman -Sy make

ancient raptor
waxen atlas
#

Just add sudo at the beginning

#

sudo pacman -Sy make
And enter your password.

You can do some research online if you want.

what's wrong with it?

#

well, do i use -Syu instead?

#

okay, thanks!

#

I usually just use -Syu for installing packages as well. It achieves the same thing as -Sy; installing the newest version of the package, but upgrades the whole system so you don’t end up with a partial upgrade.

#

TLDR: pacman -Syu <package> works too

waxen atlas
#

yeah that works, thanks!

Something to note though is sometimes you need to do -Sy on a live USB
