# NcursesFM

*Ncurses File Manager for linux*

Written in C, with ncurses library, it aims to be as user friendly and lightweight as possible, while being good looking and simple.  

Being simple doesn't imply being useless; indeed it is a full featured fm.  

For a **full list of features**, **deps** and **how to build**, please refer to [wiki pages](https://github.com/FedeDP/ncursesFM/wiki/).
