rtop is a monitoring tool for Linux systems that provides a real-time view of system processes in a user-friendly interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing rtop on MXLinux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation of rtop, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to update our system packages to their latest versions. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Type your password and wait for the upgrade to complete.
Next, we need to install the dependencies required to build and run rtop. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install git cmake build-essential libsensors4-dev libncurses-dev libncursesw5-dev -y
This will install the required packages.
Now, we need to clone the rtop repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/rapidloop/rtop.git
This will clone the latest version of the rtop repository to your current working directory.
After cloning the repository, navigate to the rtop directory by running the following command:
cd rtop
Next, we need to build and install rtop. To do this, run the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
This will build and install rtop on your system.
After installing rtop, you can test it by simply running the following command in the terminal:
rtop
This will launch the rtop interface, where you can monitor system processes in real-time.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install rtop on MXLinux Latest. You can now use rtop to monitor your system's processes and take control of your system's performance.
