How to manually compile make in a live session w/o internet?

io flag

I need to install a Wi-Fi driver in a live session, but it does not come with "make".

How can I install make so I can install the driver, without internet?

This is an information-free Question. What OS, release, hardware, WiFi hardware, ...? Did you build your boot medium with persistent storage? Read https://askubuntu.com/questions/how-to-ask

To *compile* `make` you'd first need to install a compiler. Before you go down that rabbit hole, look at installing the `make` package offline - see for example [How can I install software or packages without Internet (offline)?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/974/how-can-i-install-software-or-packages-without-internet-offline)

@waltinator Sorry about that, I didn't think it was relevant. It's a 20.04 live session on a usb stick that needs the rtl88x2bu driver for a realtek wifi chip (https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu). I do not think it has persistent storage, as I haven't done anything to it after creating it.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
