I want to use Ncurses on Dev-Cpp but don't know how to install it. I have downloaded the ndk for it, any help?

Maybe you should be using PDCurses instead of NCurses

And where would I put it?

Anywhere you want to on your computer. The download *.zip file contains several directories -- one of them is win32. Inside that directory is a makefile for various MS-Windows and MS-DOS compilers. AFAIK Dev-C++ is not one of the supported compilers. If you want to use Dev-C++ IDE then you will have to create your own DLL or static library project for it, add all the *.c files in pdcurses directory as well as all the *.c files in win32 directory. I did this using VC++ 2010 Express and they compiled ok but I have not yet tested it.
