Install Make

The makefile of the Open-Science-Paper requires a working copy of GNU make on your system. If you use an Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution it should be installed already by default. On a Linux machine you can check this out by issuing which make on the command line.

If make is available this will return a path to the executable of make. If it is not, you can install it via the system package manager of your operating system. The example below shows this for a Debian based operating system using the package manger apt-get.

sudo apt-get install make

On Windows and Mac I am not aware of a command like which but you can simply type make into the console and hit enter. This should return an error if the command is not available. If it is not installed on your machine you can get minimalistic GNU for Windows or the Xcode package for your Mac.

Note:

The makefile is tested on a linux machine only. It is likely that it will work on a Mac but you will definitly have to adapt it if you like to use it on a Windows machine. Especially the paths and the programs used to handle the operations for example copy, grep and date need adaption.
