RRDtool is a powerful and flexible tool for graphing and logging time-series data. In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of installing RRDtool on an EndeavourOS Latest system.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system.
Open the terminal and update the system packages with the following command:
