I am trying to create a new metricset inside the metricbeat folder and I am getting error while trying to run the command "make create-metricset".  
bash: make: command not found

I have few proxy issues on the linux server in which I am trying to create the metricset, so instead of running the command "go get [github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat](http://github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat)" to download the source code, I have downloaded the source code from github on a windows server and copied the code to linux server. Will there be any issue if I am doing this way.  
Earlier there was no proxy issues on the linux server so I was just running the command "go get [github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat](http://github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat)" and when I run make create-metricset it was working. But now due to proxy issues I am trying the other way and ended up with this issue.  
Can someone help on this?  
I have downloaded the beats of version 7.6  
I have all the pre-requisite like python, virtualenv and mage on my server and I have set the gopath also.
