I'm building a substratum theme from https://github.com/substratum/template

I'm getting the following errors on run:

Build command failed.

I'm running Android Studio 3.0.1 on Manjaro. I really don’t know what else info to provide, so please mention if anything is required.

I had the same problem on Debian Buster. Installing the Debian package 'libncurses5' solved it for me.

$ sudo apt install libncurses5
