==> make bootstrap
Solution

  • It takes quite sometime. I did not time it per se - but I left it working for around 1.5 hours before I returned to the window - then it was done. So timewise anything between 15 min and 1.5hrs I'd say. If you are running your terminal in a window and text keeps changing in the header it's all good. Just don't cancel it - let it do it's work. If you have other things to do, get those done first; if not - go on youtube :)
