% NCurses Disk Usage Ncdu is a disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface. It is designed to find space hogs on a remote server where you don't have an entire graphical setup available, but it is a useful tool even on regular desktop systems. Ncdu aims to be fast, simple and easy to use, and should be able to run in any minimal POSIX-like environment with ncurses installed. ## Download Zig version (stable) : 2.2 ([ncdu-2.2.tar.gz](/download/ncdu-2.2.tar.gz) - [changes](/ncdu/changes2) - requires Zig 0.9.0 or 0.9.1) See the [beta release announcement](/doc/ncdu2) for information about the motivation for the rewrite and some of the differences with the C version. Note that the [Zig language](https://ziglang.org/) and compiler are still very much unstable. This version of ncdu will *only* work with the version of the Zig compiler noted above. Use the ncdu 1.x branch if this does not work for you or if you need a more stable compilation environment. **Linux users/distros** may want to apply [this patch to Zig](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/11295) to fix a [possible crash](https://code.blicky.net/yorhel/ncdu/issues/192). Convenient static binaries for Linux: [i486](/download/ncdu-2.2-linux-i386.tar.gz), [x86_64](/download/ncdu-2.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz), [ARM](/download/ncdu-2.2-linux-arm.tar.gz) and [AArch64](/download/ncdu-2.2-linux-aarch64.tar.gz). Download, extract and run; no compilation or installation necessary. C version (LTS) : 1.17 ([ncdu-1.17.tar.gz](/download/ncdu-1.17.tar.gz) - [changes](/ncdu/changes)) Lags a bit behind on the 2.x version in terms of features and performance, but is still being maintained and perfectly usable. Development version : The most recent code is available on a git repository and can be cloned with `git clone git://g.blicky.net/ncdu.git/`. The repository is also available for [online browsing](https://code.blicky.net/yorhel/ncdu/) (and [through cgit](https://g.blicky.net/ncdu.git/) if you prefer that). The 'master' branch represents the C version, the Zig version can be found in the 'zig' branch.
