To build bin, use the make command as follows:

make

This command compiles and builds the bin package.

Step 4: Install Bin

Once the build process is complete, install bin using the following command:

sudo make install

This command installs the bin package and its files to the system.

Step 5: Verify Installation

To verify that bin has been installed correctly, enter the following command:

which bin

This should output the path of the bin binary file that you just installed. If it does not, ensure that you have followed all the previous steps correctly.
