Debian Linux Install GNU GCC Compiler and Development Environment

How do I install GNU/GCC compiler and related tools (such as make, debugger, man pages) collection under Debian Linux system using command line options?

You need to install following packages on Debian and Ubuntu Linux:
[a] build-essential package - Installs the following collection to compile c/c++ program on Debian/Ubuntu Linux:
Tutorial details
DifficultyEasy (rss)
Root privilegesYes
RequirementsNone
Estimated completion time10m
  1. libc6-dev - C standard library.
  2. gcc - C compiler.
  3. g++ - C++ compiler.
  4. make - GNU make utility to maintain groups of programs.
  5. dpkg-dev - Debian package development tools.
Basically, build-essential package contains an informational list of packages which are considered essential for building Debian packages including gcc compiler, make and other required tools. This package also depends on the packages on that list, to make it easy to have the build-essential packages installed.

Installation

Open the Terminal and then type the following apt-get command as root user:
# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install build-essential
OR
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
Sample outputs:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  dpkg-dev fakeroot g++ g++-4.7 gcc gcc-4.7 libalgorithm-diff-perl libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl libc-dev-bin libc6-dev libdpkg-perl
  libfile-fcntllock-perl libitm1 libstdc++6-4.7-dev libtimedate-perl linux-libc-dev make manpages-dev
Suggested packages:
  debian-keyring g++-multilib g++-4.7-multilib gcc-4.7-doc libstdc++6-4.7-dbg gcc-multilib autoconf automake1.9 libtool flex bison gdb gcc-doc gcc-4.7-multilib
  libmudflap0-4.7-dev gcc-4.7-locales libgcc1-dbg libgomp1-dbg libitm1-dbg libquadmath0-dbg libmudflap0-dbg libcloog-ppl0 libppl-c2 libppl7 binutils-gold glibc-doc
  libstdc++6-4.7-doc make-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  build-essential dpkg-dev fakeroot g++ g++-4.7 gcc gcc-4.7 libalgorithm-diff-perl libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl libc-dev-bin libc6-dev libdpkg-perl
  libfile-fcntllock-perl libitm1 libstdc++6-4.7-dev libtimedate-perl linux-libc-dev make manpages-dev

Verify installation

You can verify gcc compiler and make tool using the following syntax:
# whereis gcc make
# gcc -v
# make -v
Sample outputs:
gcc: /usr/bin/gcc /usr/lib/gcc /usr/bin/X11/gcc
make: /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/X11/make /usr/share/man/man1/make.1.gz
...
..
gcc version 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5)
...
..
GNU Make 3.81
..
Now, you should able to compile software, create Debian packages or simply write a code using C / C++ compilers.
