Linux: Keep An Eye On Your System With Glances Monitor

Glances is a cross-platform system monitoring tool that allows you to monitor various system resources, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network usage, in real-time. It is written in Python and uses the curses library to display the system information in a terminal window.

To install Glances on a Linux machine, follow these steps:

1. Install the required dependencies by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip build-essential libncursesw5 libncursesw5-dev

2. Install Glances using pip, the Python package manager, by running the following command:

pip3 install glances

To start Glances, simply run the "glances" command in the terminal.

To customize the display and functionality of Glances, you can use various command-line options and configuration files. For example, you can use the "--process-short-name" option to display only the short name of the processes, or you can use the "--process-sort" option to sort the processes by a specific criterion.

To view the available options and configurations, run the "glances -h" command.

Note: The above steps and commands are specific to Debian-based Linux distributions such as Ubuntu. The exact steps and commands may vary slightly depending on your Linux distribution.
