Installation summary (The GNU Awk User’s Guide)

The gawk distribution is available from the GNU Project’s main distribution site, ftp.gnu.org. The canonical build recipe is:
```
wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/gawk-5.3.0.tar.gz
tar -xvpzf gawk-5.3.0.tar.gz
cd gawk-5.3.0
./configure && make && make check
```
NOTE: Because of the ‘https://’ URL, you may have to supply the --no-check-certificate option to wget to download the file.
gawk may be built on non-POSIX systems as well. The currently supported systems are MS-Windows using MSYS, MSYS2, MinGW, and Cygwin, and OpenVMS. Instructions for each system are included in this appendix.
Bug reports should be sent via email to “bug dash gawk at gnu dot org”. Bug reports should be in English and should include the version of gawk, how it was compiled, and a short program and data file that demonstrate the problem.
Non-bug emails should be sent to “help dash gawk at gnu dot org”. Repeatedly sending non-bug emails to the bug list will get you blacklisted from it.
There are a number of other freely available awk implementations. Many are POSIX-compliant; others are less so.
