File Size for linux
Based on your issues in installing ncdu my recommendation would be to use du and sort on together.
For instance:
du /home | sort -rn (will search all files/directories under /home and sort them by largest to smallest.
du -h /home | sort -rh (same but will show it in MB/KB/etc) - Note this requires coreutils 7.5 or newer (sort --version to check)
You can replace /home with any directory of your choice.
