# Make

Gitea makes heavy use of Make to automate tasks and improve development. This
guide covers how to install Make.

### On Linux

Install with the package manager.

On Ubuntu/Debian:

```bash
sudo apt-get install make
```

On Fedora/RHEL/CentOS:

```bash
sudo yum install make
```

### On Windows

One of these three distributions of Make will run on Windows:

- [Single binary build](http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=make). Copy somewhere and add to `PATH`.
  - [32-bits version](ftp://ftp.equation.com/make/32/make.exe)
  - [64-bits version](ftp://ftp.equation.com/make/64/make.exe)
- [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org/) includes a build.
  - The binary is called `mingw32-make.exe` instead of `make.exe`. Add the `bin` folder to `PATH`.
- [Chocolatey package](https://chocolatey.org/packages/make). Run `choco install make`
