From source

Install Ncurses

tty-solitaire depends on Ncurses. Some platforms provide it out of the box and some don’t, so you might need to install it yourself.

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

macOS

macOS has Ncurses with wide character support out of the box, so there’s nothing you need to do.

If for some reason you want to use other Ncurses libraries (from Macports, Homebrew, etc.) you are able to do it by specifying LDLAGS in the make invocation. See this pull request for more information.
