xmtop/README.md

Another terminal based graphical activity monitor, inspired by gtop and vtop, this time written in Go!

Installation

Go programs compile to a single binary and there are currently prebuilt ones for 32/64bit Linux, ARM Linux, and 32/64bit OSX.

Disclaimer: Many people are having issues with the OSX binary, so your success with it may vary. If you're getting an error about 'CPU Percentages', a temporary fix is to install gotop from source using go get github.com/cjbassi/gotop.

Using Git

Clone the repo then run download.sh to download the correct binary:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cjbassi/gotop.git /tmp/gotop
/tmp/gotop/download.sh

Then move gotop into your $PATH somewhere.

Arch Linux

Install the gotop-bin package from the AUR.

Homebrew

brew tap cjbassi/gotop
brew install gotop

Source

go get github.com/cjbassi/gotop
