Development tools contain a few general useful tools like GCC, g++, make, libc6-dev, and dpkg-dev packages. You need to install build-essential on Ubuntu and LinuxMint systems which include all other required packages as dependencies.

    The development tools packages are available under default apt repositories for most of the Ubuntu-based systems. Use the following commands to install the development tools package on your Ubuntu and Linuxmint systems.

    sudo apt update 
    sudo apt install build-essential 
    

    Check Installed Versions

    After successful installation of the build-essential package on your system, let’s check installed versions of important binaries.

    Check the version of GCC on your system:

    gcc --version 
    
    Output
    gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0 Copyright (C) 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

    Also check the make binary version:

    make --version
    
    Output
    GNU Make 4.2.1 Built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Copyright (C) 1988-2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc. License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later
