Linux

If you are using Linux or WSL, make comes pre-installed, so just type the following:

If you are on Windows, first install the chocolatey package manager with winget install chocolatey. Close and reopen the terminal for it to take effect. Then type choco install make to install make. Reopen the terminal again. After navigating to wherever you cloned the hangmanGame repository, type the following:

make
