System-Monitor

This tool developed in C++ can be seen as an equivalent to the htop command line utility, which allows a user to interactively monitor their computer's system resources in real-time.

Dependencies

ncurses

ncurses is a library that facilitates text-based graphical output in the terminal. This project relies on ncurses for display output.

You need to install ncurses within your own Linux environment: sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

Make

This project uses Make. The Makefile has four targets:

• build compiles the source code and generates an executable
• format applies ClangFormat to style the source code
• debug compiles the source code and generates an executable, including debugging symbols
• clean deletes the build/ directory, including all of the build artifacts

Instructions

1. Clone the project repository: $ git clone https://github.com/MRLintern/System-Monitor

2. Build the project: $ make build

3. Run the resulting executable: $./build/monitor
