====== How to install gtop (graphical top) an advanced text UI system monitor on Ubuntu 18.04 or similar ======


top, atop, iotop etc are all very good and well known system monitoring tools which run perfectly via simple terminal sessions (no X server or mouse required). But sometimes you would prefer some graphical representation added to it. Some graphs. There comes "gtop" handy. Its still a text UI top-a-like tool. However they added some clever ASCII graphics to it. Since i learned about this nice tool, i dont want to miss it! check it out.

<code>
sudo apt-get install npm  -y
sudo npm install gtop -g

# start gtop by...
gtop
</code>
