I am trying to flash my Iris keyboard using the command make iris/rev2:default:avrdude as described in the readme. After resetting the controller, I get the message:

Am I missing a library or something? Thanks for any help!

Yeah, this is a known issue. You can manually install/download it, and it will pick it up.
Also, this is on a Mac? If so, part of the failure is due to the way that grep is being used, or you're using dash over bash (#2152 )

I haven't worked with Arduinos before. Would you mind pointing me to some documentation to manually install it?
And nope, this is on Ubuntu!

Edited, are you using dash or an alt to bash? As that seems to cause issues.
As for getting avrdude, ~do this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/09/install-avrdude-6-1-ubuntu-1404/~~~
Run sudo apt-get install avrdude
Then run "avrdude" to see if it's working (I believe). If it is, rerun the make command above, and it should "just flash it", once the board is in bootloader mode.

I generally use fish and thought that might have been the issue, but I get the same error with bash.
I'll give that a shot and see if it works! Thanks for the help!

For anyone in the future who comes across this and is using MSYS2 on Windows, the incantation you want is
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-avrdude
