I have thoroughly followed the instructions step by step to execute hello.c . However, the message "no rule to make target hello" continues to show. Any help?

It appears that you file name has a leading space. You should probably rename it by executing

mv " hello.c" hello.c

then try making it with

make hello

You haven't saved the file to the disk, see the * sign on the tab. Press Ctrl+S to save the file and then do make hello.

It happened with me too. Just make sure to change your directory to the one where your file is saved in the terminal window. It may be ~/Dropbox/pset1
