This brief tutorial shows students and new users how to install GCC Compiler (build-essential) on Ubuntu 18.04 | 16.04.

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a collection of compilers and libraries developed by GNU Project that supports programming languages such as, C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Go and many more.
