The error message "libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" indicates that the shared library file "libncursesw.so.5" is missing or not accessible.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

1. Check if the library is installed: Run the following command to check if the library is installed on your system:

   dpkg -l | grep libncurses

If the library is not listed, you will need to install it. You can do this by running:

   sudo apt install libncurses5

2. Verify library path: Check if the library path is correctly set. Run the following command to search for the library file:

   sudo updatedb
   locate libncursesw.so.5

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/library:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Replace "/path/to/library" with the actual directory path where the library file is located.

3. Reinstall the package: If the library is already installed but the error persists, you can try reinstalling the package using the following command:

   sudo apt --reinstall install libncurses5
