Hi team, I am reading through "My first contribution" when I run make all doc, I get the following;

SUBDIR git-gui
    SUBDIR gitk-git
    SUBDIR templates
make -C Documentation all
make[1]: Entering directory '/mnt/c/Users/USER/documents/git/Documentation'
make[2]: Entering directory '/mnt/c/Users/USER/documents/git'
make[2]: 'GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/mnt/c/Users/USER/documents/git'
    XMLTO git-version.1
/bin/sh: 1: xmlto: not found
make[1]: *** [Makefile:355: git-version.1] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/c/Users/USER/documents/git/Documentation'
make: *** [Makefile:2720: doc] Error 2

How should I go about it?
