Can't find Makefile of editorconfig-core-c

I am trying to install editorconfig-core-c. So I followed the following tutorial:

Tutorial of editorconfig-core-c

So I needed to do:

sudo apt-get install cmake libpcre3-dev

and

make install

But in which folder is the Makefile? I didn't found anything in ~/

Does anyone have a suggestion for me?
