https://raw.github.com/nicolargo/glances/master/docs/images/screenshot-wide.png

Requirements

  • python >= 2.6 (tested with version 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4)

  • psutil >= 2.0.0

  • setuptools

Optional dependencies:

  • bottle (for Web server mode)

  • py3sensors (for hardware monitoring support) [Linux-only]

  • hddtemp (for HDD temperature monitoring support) [Linux-only]

  • batinfo (for battery monitoring support) [Linux-only]

Installation

PyPI: The simple way

Glances is on PyPI. By using PyPI, you are sure to have the latest stable version.

To install, simply use pip:

Note: Python headers are required to install psutil. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu you need to install first the python-dev package.

To upgrade Glances to the latest version:

pip install --upgrade Glances

  • Arch Linux

  • Debian (Testing/Sid)

  • Fedora/CentOS/RHEL

  • Gentoo

  • Slackware

  • Ubuntu (13.04+)

  • Void Linux

So you should be able to install it using your favorite package manager.
