I've downloaded sources of https://github.com/snowballstem/snowball and try to build it by official guide on my machine.
Unfortunately, I have gotten an error
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
Steps to reproduce:
$ git clone https://github.com/snowballstem/snowball.git

$ make
libstemmer/mkalgorithms.pl algorithms.mk libstemmer/modules.txt
cc -O2 -W -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -c -o compiler/space.o compiler/space.c
...
$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Also I've created an issue here https://github.com/snowballstem/snowball/issues/170
I expect that all instructions from the Snowball guide should work well.
OP's solution migrated from the question to an answer:
After digging deeper, found that running
make
is enough, and it works well:echo "running" | ./stemwords -l en run
Also guide was updated https://snowballstem.org/runtime/use.html
