How to install htop on CentOS Linux 8

To install htop on CentOS Linux 8, you can use the following steps:

  1. Enable the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository:
    sudo yum install epel-release
    This enables the EPEL repository, which contains additional packages for CentOS.

  2. Install htop:
    sudo yum install htop
    This installs htop and all of its dependencies.

You can verify the installation by running the htop command, which should launch the htop utility.

htop is an interactive process viewer for Linux that allows you to view and manage processes on your system. It provides a more user-friendly interface than the default top utility, with features such as a color-coded process list and the ability to kill processes using a mouse.

Note: These steps assume that you are using CentOS Linux 8, which uses the yum package manager. If you are using a different Linux distribution, you may need to use a different package manager or different commands to install htop.
