{SOLVED}How to build Istio manually

1

Hi! I’m trying to build deb and rpm pakcages manually on my local machine.

I downloaded Istio to /home/luckylemon/go/src/istio.io/istio. And from that folder I run make rpm.
Makefile:800: .circleci/Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target ‘.circleci/Makefile’. Stop.

This error occures on any make command.

Can someone pls healp me with this problem ? How can I build Istio on my local device ?
