Then type gcc into the quick search box. The list may make take a moment to update. Then if you don;t have a blue box next to gcc like I have in the example then click the empty box and click “Apply” to install the gcc package.

    sudo aptitude install build-essential

    This should also install the necessary files for both C and C++ compilers

    Don’t be afraid of the command line people, its often alot quicker
