After successfully compiling a program from source code using 'make', which command should be used to install the compiled software into the system-wide directories so that it becomes executable from any location?
The 'make install' command is used after compiling software to copy the binaries, libraries, and any associated files to the appropriate system directories, allowing the software to be run from anywhere on the system. This step often requires administrative privileges because it modifies system-level directories.
