2. After the installation is complete, issue the following command at the terminal to use the utility –

gt5

3. The output will show a list of files and folders in your home folder and the amount of disk space (in MB and %) utilized by each file and folder.

4. If you want to analyze the disk space usage for the entire disk, issue the following commands at the terminal –
