% 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.

Static binaries
|
|
: Convenient static binaries for Linux. Download, extract and run; no
|
|
compilation or installation necessary:
|
|
[i486](/download/ncdu-2.2.1-linux-i386.tar.gz) -
|
|
[x86_64](/download/ncdu-2.2.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz) -
|
|
[ARM](/download/ncdu-2.2.1-linux-arm.tar.gz) -
|
|
[AArch64](/download/ncdu-2.2.1-linux-aarch64.tar.gz).
|
|
|
|
Zig version (stable)
|
|
: 2.2.2 ([ncdu-2.2.2.tar.gz](/download/ncdu-2.2.2.tar.gz) - [changes](/ncdu/changes2) - requires Zig 0.10.x)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
C version (LTS)
|
|
: 1.18.1 ([ncdu-1.18.1.tar.gz](/download/ncdu-1.18.1.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.
