Install curl and build-essential on Ubuntu
Introduction
This is the initial post for installation basics with Ubuntu. I intend to add a few of these both to help folk out and also to remind me when it comes to building a new machine.
Why curl and build-essential. Both are initial “building blocks” for installing software on Ubuntu. Curl is similar to wget and will download software, whilst build-essential includes compile tolls for C and C++ (including make). Other software will use these to build their own software from their original source
Bash command
1
sudo apt install curl build-essential
That’s it.
See the video below to see what it looks like when it runs.
Man Pages
See curl for more details.
See build-essential for more details. This links to the Debian site, which Ubuntu is based on.
