Best Answer

The 'make install' command is very common in software installations of Unix and Linux. It is usually the last part of a software creation that will take the newly compiled and linked modules and install them in production directories on the system.

This includes installing 'man' pages and other support materials as well as the shared libraries, configuration files, and executables required to execute the package.

Without the 'make install' the product may be available for testing after a successful compile and link, but will generally not be available to the rest of the users until this command is executed.
