ow do I install GNU/GCC compiler and related tools (such as make, debugger, man pages) collection under Debian Linux system using command line options?
You need to install the following packages on a Debian and Ubuntu Linux:

Sep 30, 2015 Simply put, a compiler is a software program that processes instructions written in a programming language and creates a binary file that the machine’s CPU can understand and execute. In Debian-based distributions, the most well-known C and C compilers are gcc and g, respectively. May 29, 2018  Debian Linux install GNU GCC compiler - Explains how to install GNU GCC compiler and other tools such as GNU make, g and headers files to compiler software or write code using C / C. Uninstall libyaml-cpp-dev. To remove just libyaml-cpp-dev package itself from Debian Unstable (Sid) execute on terminal: sudo apt-get remove libyaml-cpp-dev Uninstall libyaml-cpp-dev and it’s dependent packages. To remove the libyaml-cpp-dev package and any other dependant package which are no longer needed from Debian Sid.

build-essential package – Installs the following collection to compile c/c++ program on Debian/Ubuntu Linux:

  1. libc6-dev – C standard library.
  2. gcc – C compiler.
  3. g++ – C++ compiler.
  4. make – GNU make utility to maintain groups of programs.
  5. dpkg-dev – Debian package development tools.


Basically, build-essential package contains an informational list of packages which are considered essential for building Debian packages including gcc compiler, make and other required tools. This package also depends on the packages on that list, to make it easy to have the build-essential packages installed.

Installation

Open the Terminal and then type the following apt-get command as root user or use the apt command:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
OR
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install build-essential
Sample outputs:

Verify installation

You can verify gcc compiler and make tool using the following syntax:
$ whereis gcc make
$ gcc -v
$ make -v
Sample outputs:

Now, you should able to compile software, create Debian packages or simply write a code using C / C++ compilers.

How do I install dev man pages?

Type the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
Sample outputs:

Verify installation by reading some man pages:
$ man ls
$ man printf

How do compile C program and use the ncurses library?

Create a test program called hello.c as follows:

First, make sure you install GNU/GCC C compiler on a Linux:

To link to the ncurses library pass the -lncurses option to gcc/cc command:
$ cc -o output input.c -lncurses
$ cc -o hello hello.c -lncurses
Run it:
$ ./hello
Sample outputs:

Here is another program:

Compile and run it as follows:
$ cc -o curwin1 curwin1.c -lncurses
$ ./curwin1
Sample outputs:
