		+
		+	==Installation== <!--T:2-->
		+
		+	Debian, Ubuntu :
		+
		+	$ sudo apt install ncdu
		+
		+	CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux:
		+
		+	$ sudo dnf install ncdu
		+
		+	In old system besed in RHEL, you can use yum:
		+
		+	$ sudo yum install ncdu
		+
		+	===Utilisation===
		+
		+	Once installed, you just need to run the command :
		+
		+	$ ncdu
		+
		+
		+	For information, the ncdu when it is launched will read the directory in which you are, you can however indicate the directory that you wish.
		+
		+	*Exemples:
		+
		+	ncdu /
		+	<br>
		+	ncdu /home
		+	<br>
		+	ncdu /var/log
		+	<br>
		+
		+	===Save results to a file===
		+
		+	Sometimes you may want to save your analysis report and view it later. In this case, scan the directory you wish and export the results in any archive format for later consulting, as below.
		+	>br>
		+	For exemple as a file gzip
		+	<br>
		+	ncdu -1xo- / \| gzip >rapport.gz
		+
		+	This command will scan the / directory and save the scan report in a file called report.gz.
		+
		+	You can consult it later by running the following command:
		+
		+	$ zcat rapport.gz \| ncdu -f-
		+
		+	===Analysis of disk usage in a remote system===
		+
		+	$ ssh -C root@192.168.1.250 ncdu -o- / \| ncdu -f-
