How To Install Ncurses Library In Linux
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
|
||
**GNU Ncurses** is a programming library that allows the users to write text-based user interfaces(TUI). Many text-based games are created using this library. One popular example is [**PacVim**][1], a CLI game to learn VIM commands. In this brief guide, I will be explaining how to install Ncurses library in Unix-like operating systems.
|
||
|
||
### Install Ncurses Library In Linux
|
||
|
||
Ncurses is available in the default repositories of most Linux distributions. For instance, you can install it on Arch-based systems using the following command:
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo pacman -S ncurses
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
On RHEL, CentOS:
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo yum install ncurses-devel
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
On Fedora 22 and newer versions:
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo dnf install ncurses-devel
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
On Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint:
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The GNU ncureses might be bit old in the default repositories. If you want a most recent stable version, you can compile and install from the source as shown below.
|
||
|
||
Download the latest ncurses version from [**here**][2]. As of writing this guide, the latest version was 6.1.
|
||
```
|
||
$ wget https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-6.1.tar.gz
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Extract the tar file:
|
||
```
|
||
$ tar xzf ncurses-6.1.tar.gz
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This will create a folder named ncurses-6.1 in the current directory. Cd to the directory:
|
||
```
|
||
$ cd ncurses-6.1
|
||
|
||
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/ncurses
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Finally, compile and install using the following commands:
|
||
```
|
||
$ make
|
||
|
||
$ sudo make install
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Verify the installation using command:
|
||
```
|
||
$ ls -la /opt/ncurses
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
That’s it. Ncurses have been installed on the Linux distribution. Go ahead and create your nice looking TUIs using Ncurses.
|
||
|
||
More good stuffs to come. Stay tuned!
|
||
|
||
Cheers!
