-===== runbefore
+You need a file called a **Makefile** to tell make what to do. 
+The makefile tells make how to compile and link a program,  it can also tell make how to run miscellaneous commands when explicitly asked (for example, to remove certain files as a clean-up operation)
 
-Lab_Instance dependencies. **"runbefore"** allows you to automatically pull-in other dependencies when using a Lab_Instance service. 
+**Makefile** is executed with the make command, e.g. 
 
-This file should contain a list of tasks and parameters to insert before the specified repos are executed on Lab_Instance.

+This file should contain a list of tasks and parameters to insert before the specified repos are executed on Lab_Instance and a list of tasks to be executed by the Lab_Instance service.
