CLIEx
A simple terminal-based file explorer written in C++ using the ncurses lib.
Compile & Run
If you don't have ncurses installed, please do it. The following command works on Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
For other distributions, please compile it yourself (get it from here).
Compile/Install with:
make
sudo make install
Note: sudo make install will copy default.cfg from the root of this repository to /etc/cliex/. If you don't want to install the whole program, copy that file to ~/.config/cliex/ and rename it to user.cfg. After that you can run cliex from any folder on your system.
And run:
./cliex
