Can't execute locally with ./webots. No such file or directory

Following the Linux Installation guide, but I can't complete the very last step.

After running make in the dependencies folder, I get the following output:

kristoffer@kristoffer-ubuntu ~/webots/dependencies
 % make

# downloading webots-qt-6.2.3-linux64-release.tar.bz2
# uncompressing webots-qt-6.2.3-linux64-release.tar.bz2

So that should be okay, right?

The installation guide then says that I should run ./webots - but that exits with error: zsh: no such file or directory: ./webots
Tried running it in both dependenciesand the root directory, but to no avail. I also can't see a file named "webots"

You have to run make from the the root directory to build Webots.
If you ran it in the dependencies directory you didn't compile Webots but just installed some of the dependencies.
During the build the Webots launcher will be copied in the root directory and you will then be able to run ./webots from the root directory.

I just improved the instructions so that it is now clearer in which folder you have to run the make instruction:
