When compiling most software packages from source, the GNU Three-Step Method is as follows:
./autogen.sh # With this command, four steps, if necessary
./configure
make
sudo make install
The configuration commands may also contain parameters and options, depending on the specific source and related content type. With the Linux kernel, the command to `make` can also be utilized with different configuration utilities, each with clearly different options as well, as in graphical and terminal environment setup options.
