Hi Damien,

Thanks, Michael. Those installation instructions are great (I've created an
issue to talk about including them in the workshop template:
https://github.com/swcarpentry/workshop-template/issues/228).

One last naive Windows question - does Git Bash come with the tar command?
That command is used extensively in the Make lesson.

It does :-)

cheers,
mike

Great - I think I'll teach this lesson at a workshop next month:
http://damienirving.github.io/2015-07-13-amos/

Naive windows question (i.e. I don't have a windows machine to try this
on): Does Make come with Git Bash?


(1) has Make info for all platforms. For Windows...

Once you have installed Git Bash you can install Make by:

* Download make.exe from here (2)
* Place it in the bin directory where you installed Git Bash e.g.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin.
* To test: open a Git Bash window, type make, and press Enter.
* You should see the following message

```
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

```
This means that Make was successfully installed. Otherwise, you'll see
this error message:

```
bash: make: command not found
```

cheers,
mike

We now have a lesson on using Make that's actually human-readable (unlike
the one I did for version 4).  See
http://software-carpentry.org/blog/2015/06/adding-a-lesson-on-make.html
for the post - many thanks to Mike Jackson and Steve Croucher for putting
it together.  Additions, corrections, suggestions, and everything else
would be very welcome.
Cheers,
Greg
