sysmon-pytk 0.5.0

System monitor app using Tkinter

System Monitor for Python/Tk

System monitor written in Python using Tk. It monitors CPU usage and temperature, RAM usage, and disk usage of the primary disk (containing the root partition). It also displays the system's hostname, IP address, uptime, and current process count.

Pre-installation

Make sure the Python interface to Tcl/Tk (tkinter) is installed

Since this is a GUI application using tkinter, tkinter must be installed separately.

• Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives

  sudo apt install python3-tk
  

• Fedora and derivatives

  sudo dnf install python3-tkinter
  

• MacOS

  brew install python-tk
  

Install Using pip

Download the wheel file from the latest release, then install it. Once a PyPI account can be set up, the program will be downloadable from there.

pip install ./sysmon_pytk-0.4.1-py3-none-any.whl

Two versions of the program will be installed, a GUI program and a command line program.

To run the GUI program:

sysmon

To run the command line program:

cli_sysmon
