Unable to use sudo make install prefix=/usr/local

[JBriel1]

Trying to install centrifuge using the quick install guide. I am using WSL with Ubuntu 22.04 - each time I try to use it it just provides the following output:
dirname: missing operand
Try 'dirname --help' for more information.

Could you please run "which g++" to make sure gcc is installed on your system?

I'm now present with this error:

[mourisl]

This feels like a sudo issue. Could you please manually run "sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/centrifuge/indices" to see whether it is feasible?

[JBriel1]

It made the directory. However, it is completely empty.
