Midnight Commander in Ubuntu 20.04

Question

Is there any precompiled Midnight Commander to have it running in Ubuntu 20.04LTS?

I mean to avoid building from source. I did not find a Debian package for it, or an executable.

Answer 1

Yes, there is an mc package for 20.04 in the Ubuntu repositories, just like for previous versions. Simply install it using:

sudo apt install mc

If the command does not work for you, check you have enabled the Universe repository.

When you are looking for Ubuntu software, you should check https://packages.ubuntu.com/ as the first option.
