You did not just enter "make", but "make install" which requires root permissions if the installation prefix/target requires it.

Could you give me some guidance on how to resolve my issue? It''s my first time using linux as an operating system

Please read https:/
You should consider using a proper distro-package if available to avoid installing things manually and circumvent the packaging-system of your distribution.
Search for "autotools configure sudo make install".
