Answer:

Make install

Step-by-step explanation:

In Computer programming, after compiling source code, make install still needs to be run in order to copy the newly compiled binaries into a directory listed in the PATH variable as well as copy supporting files (such as man pages) to the correct location on the filesystem.

In general, the commands that are executed by make install are defined in the Makefile.
