"sudo make install" "sudo: not found", then "sudo: command not found"

I'm trying to install an app called "b43-fwcutter".

1)Successful: I first performed "wget XXX" to get the file.

2)Successful: "tar xjf XXX" to uncompress the file

3)Successful: "cd XXX" to go inside the uncompressed directory

4)Successful: "make" ( some files got generated, so I guess successful)

5)FAIL: "sudo make install"

First, I used to get error: "sudo: not found".

Then, I followed some suggestions on a topic: I applied the command "sudo", then "bash"

When I tried "sudo make install" I got a different error: "sudo: command not found".

What should I do?

I think the problem is solved. I was root, and I think I shouldn't have used sudo.

What does sudo mean?

Hi wajed

sudo is a program that allows a regular user to temporarily elevate to root privilages.

Means SuperUserDO

You can work without by becoming root login:root password:root

It is not installed by default on any slitaz isos that I'm aware of but it's in the repo.

tazpkg search program before you configure,compile,make,make install from source.

tazpkg -usage

There are hundreds of programs already compiled packaged and the depends are auto installed.

#tazpkg recharge

#tazpkg get-install b43-fwcutter
