Trouble installing ncurses

  • 772

I've git cloned a program I need: https://github.com/dbdexter-dev/meteor_demod

When I try to compile it with make, I get a fatal error: ncurses.h: No such file or catalog

So I tried sudo apt install ncurses, but then I get Couldn't find package ncurses.

So i git clone https://github.com/millionbonus/ncurses.git, but when I make, it says no makefile found.

I've run out of ideas. Any help, please? :-)

compiling apt git ncurses 19.04

    I found this website https://www.osetc.com/en/how-to-install-ncurse-library-in-ubuntu-debian-centos-fedora-linux.html with the following comment, which worked:

    $ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
