Glances is on PyPI. To install, simply use pip:
pip install GlancesNote:
On Debian/Ubuntu, you need to install first the python-dev package.
On CentOS/Fedora, you need to install first the python-devel package (from the EPEL repository).
To upgrade Glances to the latest version:
pip install --upgrade GlancesLinux
Actually, packages exist for Arch Linux, Fedora / CentOS / RHEL, Debian (Sid/Testing) and Ubuntu (13.04+), so you should be able to install it using your favorite package manager.
