disk usage tool?

[mimosa]

mate-utils is now in the repos; once installed, Disk Usage Analyser (with an 's') appears in the System menu.

Alas, the command line betrays no such sympathy for Greek etymology:

Code: Select all

mimosa[~]$ mate-disk-usage-analyser
bash: mate-disk-usage-analyser: command not found

In any case, that's a lot to type, so one could create an alias 'baobab' in .bashrc

i would like to request the tool "baobab" or something comparable.
Does anybody know a tool which is available via sourcery, to display the diskspace usage of files and folders?
Is there a "ls" parameter which is capable of that?

I have recently discovered a wonderful CLI tool called ncdu.

sudo ln /usr/bin/mate-disk-usage-analyzer /usr/bin/baobab

which baobab
/usr/bin/baobab

ncdu looks excellent, and can easily be installed using Sourcery. Thanks for the tip!
