System-Monitor

An interactive System Monitor process-viewer for Linux. It displays CPU and memory utilization much similar to htop.

ncurses

ncurses is a library that facilitates text-based graphical output in the terminal. This project relies on ncurses for display output.

Within the Udacity Workspace, .student_bashrc automatically installs ncurses every time you launch the Workspace.

If you are not using the Workspace, install ncurses within your own Linux environment: sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

Make

This project uses Make. The Makefile has four targets:

• build compiles the source code and generates an executable
• format applies ClangFormat to style the source code
• debug compiles the source code and generates an executable, including debugging symbols
• clean deletes the build/ directory, including all of the build artifacts

Instructions

1. Clone the project repository: git clone https://github.com/arjun7965/System-Monitor.git

2. Build the project: make build

3. Run the resulting executable: ./build/monitor
