When compiling software from source in Linux, the correct sequence of commands starts with ./configure to set up the environment and options for the compilation. Afterward, make is used to compile the source code into executable binaries, and finally, make install is executed to install the binaries into the system. Therefore, make install comes after and not before ./configure.
