NCDU SSH Disk Explorer

Ncurses is a great tool to help determine which files are using your precious disk space:

You will need to download the latest ncdu package from http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu with wget.

Login as root to your machine and under /root download it:

wget http://dev.yorhel.nl/download/ncdu-1.10.tar.gz

tar -xzvf ncdu-1.10.tar.g

./configure

 

If it can’t find ncurses.h and the configure fails,

checking for ncurses.h... no
configure: error: required header file not found

you’ll have to install curses library headers.

yum install ncurses-devel ncurses

then run,

make && make install

Then simply navigate to the directory you want to check
