I would like to share with you nice process monitoring program htop.
I am using this program on my Fedora Linux desktop, CentOs and RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise) Linux servers.
To install it several dependent system packages should be installed as root administrator user:
# yum install ncurses ncurses-devel ncurses-libs
Change directory to your installation directory location. Mine is /root/install
# cd /root/install
Download htop using wget:
# wget --output-document=htop-1.0.2.tar.gz http://sourceforge.net/projects/htop/files/htop/1.0.2/htop-1.0.2.tar.gz/download
Unpack it:
# tar xzvf htop-1.0.2.tar.gz
Change to directory unpacked program folder:
# cd htop-1.0.2
Configure it:
# ./configure
By default htop binary is installed to /usr/local/bin directory. You can change it by passing –prefix parameter to ./configure script
Also, you can create symbolic link using command ln -s /usr/local/bin /root/bin
Make:
# make
Install
# make install
