I am in need of several commands used with Linux in my windows environment, and although Microsoft is releasing a new shell based on Ubuntu I was not very satisfied with the results and chose to use MSYS2, I already used Cygwin, but I was also no longer satisfied with its result, many problems related to Path and it seems that MSYS2 is better.
But I couldn’t find the make how do I install it?

Although this question is old, it is still asked by many who use MSYS2.
I’ve been using it this year to replace Cygwin, and I’m getting pretty satisfied.
Today I needed to install the make and I didn’t know how and I started researching, I got to this question but it didn’t work, and I continued my research so I ended up reading the whole manual of Msys2 and I joined the knowledge collected in other posts.
Everything is as simple as ever (after we learn)
To install make in msys, just enter the msys shell and type the commands to update the shell, this is good if it is with some old installation so type the commands below and confirm for the update to be done:
pacman -Sy pacman
pacman -Syu
pacman -Su
In the above three commands if necessary close the window and reopen for each one.
Now to install make and this work without much magic just type:
pacman -S msys/make
Ready you already have the msys2 make available in your windows.
