% 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
- Latest version
- 1.16 (ncdu-1.16.tar.gz - changes)
I also have convenient static binaries for Linux i486, x86_64, ARM and AArch64. Download, extract and run; no compilation or installation necessary (uses musl).
- Project status
- Maintenance mode: I consider ncdu to be mostly complete. I'm still here to keep it alive and to fix issues as they come along, but I don't actively work on adding new features. Bug reports are still very welcome. Feature requests are welcome too, but don't expect much from that. Patches and pull requests for new features will likely end up getting ignored.
- 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.
Ncdu is entirely written in C and available under a liberal MIT license.
