In this tutorial, we will be installing rtop on a Fedora Server. rtop is a real-time system monitoring tool, which provides a more interactive and responsive way of monitoring systems than the traditional top command.
To install rtop, you need to have:
Before we install rtop, we need to install some dependencies that it requires. Open up a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y gcc ncurses-devel
This command will install the gcc compiler and the ncurses development libraries that are necessary for compiling and running rtop.
Now, we can download and install the latest version of rtop from the GitHub repository. Run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/rapidloop/rtop.git
This command will clone the rtop repository to the current directory. Now, navigate to the rtop directory:
cd rtop
And run the following command to build and install rtop:
make && sudo make install
This command will compile rtop and install it in your system.
Now that we have installed rtop, we can run it by simply typing rtop
into the terminal.
You have successfully installed rtop on your Fedora Server. With rtop, you can now monitor your system in real-time and get a more interactive overview of its performance.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
