When using apt-get I see some packages have a “dev” suffix after their names:
libreadline5
libreadline-dev
zlib1g
zlib1g-dev
What are these exactly and should I install them?
You need these to compile and link as they provide headers and libraries to link whereas the standard packages just contain the run-time versions.
