It's not in apt packages please use this method for easy install

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.git ~/.fzf
~/.fzf/install

Also if you face any problem let me know.

sudo apt-get install fzf

Wait, if it's not in apt packages, why does the readme suggest you can install with this command?

sudo apt-get install fzf

Installing with apt does work, but its a very old version 0.20 in this case

Thanks @caquillo07! I made a small PR to warn others when installing. #2538
