installing wifi pci card


My first Linux os installed (vixta fedora 6 ), now I'm trying to learn it and here's my first problem :-

I need to get drivers installed for my wireless pci card,
I have the drivers but first need to install ndiswrapper to run them,
I have the correct version of ndiswrapper and have un-tar to a directory.
when I navigate to that directory there is a makefile and install instructions telling me to use :-

:make
:make install

but I keep getting - make: command not recognised

any help please, or other way of installing ndiswrapper ??
