Ranger file manager

Hi is it possible to use ranger file manager(https://github.com/hut/ranger) in ConEmu.
I use Msys2 utilities and have problem of using Ranger.
Seems like redrawing and arrangement of the text is not proper.

You must ask its author about it.
ConEmu is "just a Windows terminal".
If ranger will be able to be running in the standard Windows console - it will be working
in the ConEmu too.

But I recommend to check the FarManager as file manager. I believe it is best choice
when you are on Windows.

I also got this when I downloaded from gnu. But then I used the github version (nongnu).

I've downloaded it from github. But the ranger is not standalone product, it relates
of the python and "_curses". And I'm not sure how it must be "installed".

Yes, I see. Sorry for misleading answer. I did not look closely at the problem.

I use Msys2 python and curses distribution that is how I run it.
