Install problem for xdotool
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Since I have problems with my Internet connection I'm not able to always run commandapt-get install xdotool in Terminal, so I would like to download the xdotool package manually from website in .zip or .deb format and then install it manually every time I need it. (I'm using Usb Live Kali Linux 2016.2-amd64 and every time I reboot it deletes all files).
I've tried to download xdotool from https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool at the right side in green box "Clone or download" there is option download ZIP. After that I extract all files in Home folder and then open it in Terminal.
in README file there are instructions like this:
See the website for more up-to-date documentation
http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ or the manpage listed
below.
Compile: make
Install: make install
Remove: make uninstall
You may have to set 'PREFIX' to the location you want to install to.
The default PREFIX is /usr/local
For packagers, there's also support for DESTDIR for staged install.
I type in make then make install and it always outputs me this error:

Can you suggest me other methods of installation of xdotool (but without Internet connection)?

Did you runmakebeforemake install? You are also likely to need development packages to compile.

Why do you download the source code and try to compile it, instead of downloading the binary.deb(the oneapt-get install xdotoolwould also fetch and install, without compiling)?

The error you are getting says that you miss the file XTest.h.
Look up which package provides it with (on debian derivates):
dpkg -S Xtest.h
The package should be libXtst-dev, you might need to add some repositories, if the command doesn't return anything
