Description:
A C++17 project which displays system information such as OS, kernel,
memory utilization, processes, etc. in a terminal. This project is my submission
for the Udacity Project which
requires writing C++ code to parse files and directories in Linux proc
and etc directory and display data on a terminal, similar to the widely used
htop application.
This project uses the ncurses library, which facilitates text-based graphical output in the terminal.
This project runs ONLY in Linux environment, when compiled with -std=c++17 command-line flag, since it uses std::filesystem. On Windows Subsystem for Linux, it gives a segmentation fault.
Cloning:
Clone this project to a local destination using git:
git clone https://github.com/CybernetHacker14/ND-Cpp-System-Monitor.git
Pre-requisites:
The following libraries need to be installed.
- CMake
- ncurses
Install ncurses within your own Linux environment by running:
sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
You can also use Visual Studio Code as an IDE.
Instructions:
- Open a terminal window in the project directory, and build the project
using :
make build - Run the resulting executable:
./build/monitor
