INSTALLATION

DESCRIPTION

gtop is a system monitoring dashboard for the terminal, written in JavaScript and running on Node.js.
It provides a clean, colorful, multi-pane TUI dashboard that gives you an immediate, real-time overview of your machine's vital statistics.
Key features include:

  • Multi-Pane Dashboard: Simultaneously displays graphs and metrics for CPU usage, memory utilization, disk usage, and network traffic history.
  • Process Table: An interactive process list that you can sort by PID, CPU usage (c), or memory usage (m).
  • Lightweight & Cross-Platform: Runs anywhere Node.js is installed across Linux, macOS, and Windows.
    Unlike traditional vertical monitors like top or htop, gtop organizes everything into a dashboard layout similar to what you might see in a web-based monitoring tool, but directly inside your terminal emulator.
