EdMon is a FOSS (Free and Open Source) system monitoring tool for Linux that is easy to use and is designed with a user-friendly interface. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install EdMon which is from https://github.com/Edraens/EdMon on the latest version of MXLinux.
Before starting with the installation of EdMon, you need to update your system to make sure you have the latest packages installed:
Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Now that the system is up-to-date, we need to install some dependencies required by EdMon. In the terminal, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install git python3-pip python3-pyqt5 python3-psutil
After installing the dependencies, we will clone EdMan from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/Edraens/EdMon.git
Once the cloning is completed, navigate to the "EdMon" directory:
cd EdMon
Before running EdMon, we need to install the required Python packages. In the terminal, run:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now we can start using EdMon. To start the application, run:
python3 edmon.py
The EdMon application will start, and you can start monitoring your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed EdMon on MXLinux.
