I’m getting the below command not found error whilst issuing ncdu.

ncdu /home
-bash: ncdu: command not found

How can I fix this?

The answer is No! Mac OS X doesn’t come with a built-in ncdu, but you can easily get it via Homebrew. You just need to issue the below command and hit ENTER:

brew install ncdu

You can lookup the available version by issuing:

brew info ncdu
