Written by Rahul, Updated on February 16, 2019

Development tools are required to install on your system if you have planned to build software. It’s also useful for building packages on your system. Development tools contain 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 development tools package on your Ubuntu and Linuxmint systems.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Check Installed Versions
