btop++ or simply btop is another system monitor via terminal. Similar to some others that we have already published like: gotop, the difference is that it is written in C++, that is, has better performance.

Installation

To install you will need a compiler for C++, for example g++:

sudo apt install g++

Then, just clone and compile Makefile:

https://github.com/aristocratos/btop
cd btop
make
sudo make install

Usage

Once installed to open btop++, just run:

btop

By pressing ESC you can choose between Options, Help or exit the program: Quit .
