#### Directory Size Profiler - Hierarchical Folder Disk Usage Report

Directory Size Profiler is a graphical disk-usage reporter that works like the du command. A
lightweight Linux alternative to the Sysinternals DU utility for finding what fills a folder.

Features:

* Scans any folder (default: your home) with real filesystem calls, counting disk blocks
  actually used, apparent size, file counts and hard links once.
* Expandable directory tree with sizes and percent-of-parent shading.
* Largest files list and per-extension usage report.
* Open a folder in your file manager, delete a selected folder (with confirmation) and export CSV.
* Optional stay-on-one-filesystem mode. Folders the sandbox or permissions cannot read are counted as unreadable.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Directory Size Profiler

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
