text: user2621: bcl2fastq is a program that converts Illumina run output from .bcl to fastq. I'm having difficulties installing the software I downloaded from Illumina on my Ubuntu 18.04. I've followed their installation manual, but the software is not building when I enter the command "make".  I receive the error message... "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. Has anyone had similar experience? Is there another software that will install easier on Ubuntu?

  Steps followed:

  export INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bcl2fastq2-v2.20.0

  The final command is supposed to be make install, but the configure step fails with:
