it shows

'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

and this also.

C:\postgresql-16.1\src\tutorial>Makefile
'Makefile' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The docs don’t tell you to try and execute the plain text Makefile.
