Makefile:148: recipe for target 'test' failed

```
# Commentary
The make script should run `npm install ejs` and `npm install should`, since those are dependencies.
I'm new to nodejs and Make files, so I'm not quite sure how to do this.

Research direction
Start with the Makefile test target around line 148 and inspect how dependencies are declared or installed. Reproduce the fresh-clone failure, account for the missing ejs and should dependencies, and confirm that make test passes without manual installation.
