# NCDU
Ncdu (opens new window) 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.
# Linux
Install ncdu
using the following command:
sudo apt install ncdu
# Usage
To start ncdu
, simply run in the directory that you want to analyze:
ncdu
To analyze root volume (/) you can use ncdu with -x
parameter. This helps to exclude other volumes mounted in the system, which are not taking space on root volume:
ncdu -x /
If you want to analyze disk usage on other volume you can use this example:
ncdu -x /mnt/archive
