How do I install GNU Readline?












26














Basically as per question. I have the .tar.gz file but I can't seem to install it. I did the whole, './configure', 'make' and 'make install' but it didn't work.

You can install the packages by using the command in a terminal (Press Ctrl-Alt-T to bring it).



sudo apt-get install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev


The package libreadline is for running applications using readline command



and the package libreadline-dev is for compiling and building readline application.
