This error implies that either no Makefile exists in the project's root directory or the Makefile lacks a run target.

To fix this, you can add a Makefile containing the following example:

run:
	rake assets:precompile
	rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
	RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb

You may find the enhanced version of the Makefile particularly useful for streamlining development and deployment workflows.
