I have been ruminating the anatomy of bitcoin and I decided to chooce mastering Bitcoin guide by following every step without jumping any of the step as I know how important some libraries will be but I am hook on some responses I get, the autogen.sh wouldn't respond, I keep getting command not found.
On page 34 mastering Bitcoin, CONFIGURING THE BITCOIN CORE BUILD.
It says that to build command-line bitcoin client or bitcoind, built.unix has to be present in the bitcoin subfolder (build-aux) but when I ran
./autogen.sh, I keep getting
command not found. I manually checked the bitcoin folder and the autogen script is right there, all file were successful downloaded, now I don't know where the problem lies.

These are some of the command-line test I have run so far, I downloaded a git application on my machine, since I tried using operating system command prompt but it wasn't working or responding to the commands so I tired the GIT and it worked anyway.
To get started, I downloaded the Bitcoin Core’s source code using git command by cloning the local copy of the source code.
$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
The source code was downloaded and was successful and I change the directory using
$ cd bitcoin![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FwpmoaBu.png&t=665&c=euCUKiK-AfQY8g)
The time I came to continue from where I stopped, I select the bitcoin core release using version v0.11.2 as the book suggest, also tested the $ git status and everything was working fine until I encountered the first error when I tried to configure the bitcoin core build using
$ ./autogen.sh![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FeJH8Pwz.png&t=665&c=uQqwGKdsCKwQaw)
All other command in the book has refuse to work since autogen.sh isn't giving me the response I'm expecting. I would appreciate if anyone can lift me up from where I stopped.
I have another question that has been confusing, what's the difference between this clone and the Bitcoin core(the main software)?
Is this Bitcoin environment the same as what they called Bitcoind? if it's, then what is the difference between them and
Bitcoin Core daemon
