## Features
Features of bottom include:
- CPU widget to show a visual representation of per-core usage. Average CPU display also exists.
- Memory widget to show a visual representation of both RAM and SWAP usage.
- Networks widget to show a log-based visual representation of network usage.
- Sortable and searchable process widget. Searching supports regex, and you can search by PID and process name.
- Disks widget to display usage and I/O per second.
- Temperature widget to monitor detected sensors in your system.
The compatibility of each widget and operating systems are, as of version 0.1.0, as follows:
2020-02-10 03:14:02 +00:00
| OS | CPU | Memory | Disks | Temperature | Processes | Networks |
| -------------------------------- | --- | ------ | ----- | ----------- | --------- | -------- |
| Linux (tested on Arch Linux) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Windows (tested on Windows 10) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ | ✓ |
| macOS (tested on macOS Catalina) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |

## Installation
2019-09-05 22:28:54 +00:00
2020-02-04 04:27:44 +00:00
In all cases you can install the in-development version by cloning and using `cargo build --release` . Note this is built and tested with Rust Stable (1.41.0 as of writing). You can also get release versions using `cargo install bottom` , or manually building from the [Releases ](https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom/releases ) page by downloading and building.

### Linux
2020-01-19 07:02:44 +00:00
Other installation methods based on distros are as follows:
2020-01-10 03:31:49 +00:00
#### Arch Linux
2020-01-12 19:25:47 +00:00
You can get the release versions from the AUR by installing `bottom` .
2020-01-05 00:20:54 +00:00
2020-02-03 04:35:50 +00:00
#### Ubuntu
TBD
2019-09-09 04:09:58 +00:00
### Windows
2020-02-03 04:35:50 +00:00
You may need to install a font like [FreeMono ](https://fonts2u.com/free-monospaced.font ) and use a terminal like cmder for font support to work properly, unfortunately. I plan to add a Chocolatey install option in the future.
2019-09-09 04:09:58 +00:00
2019-12-17 07:11:16 +00:00
### macOS
2019-09-09 04:09:58 +00:00
2020-02-03 04:35:50 +00:00
macOS seems to work fine for the most part, barring minor issues with the `Ctrl` -arrow key bindings (use `Shift` instead). I plan to add a Homebrew install option in the future.
2019-09-08 05:28:03 +00:00
2020-01-03 01:31:58 +00:00

2019-09-17 02:39:57 +00:00
2020-02-05 01:05:07 +00:00
- `-a` , `--avg_cpu` enables also showing the average CPU usage in addition to per-core CPU usage.
2019-09-25 05:54:38 +00:00
2019-12-16 07:40:35 +00:00

2019-09-17 02:39:57 +00:00
2020-02-05 01:05:07 +00:00
- Temperature units (you can only use one at a time):

2020-02-05 01:05:07 +00:00
- `-c` , `--celsius` displays the temperature type in Celsius. This is the default.
2019-09-17 02:39:57 +00:00
2020-02-05 01:05:07 +00:00

Defaults to 1000ms, and lower values may take more resources due to more frequent polling of data, and may be less accurate in some circumstances.
2019-09-17 02:39:57 +00:00
2019-12-28 06:21:49 +00:00
- `-l` , `--left_legend` will move external table legends to the left side rather than the right side. Right side is default.

2020-02-08 19:28:19 +00:00
- `-C` , `--config` takes in a file path leading to a TOML file.
2020-02-07 05:28:26 +00:00
2020-02-08 19:28:19 +00:00
One use of a config file is to set flags to execute by default.
2020-02-08 19:38:16 +00:00
- This is set under the `[flags]` section.
- These options are generally the same as the long names as other flags (ex: `case_sensitive = true` ).
2020-02-08 19:28:19 +00:00
- For temperature type, use `temperature_type = "<kelvin|k|celsius|c|fahrenheit|f>"` .
2020-02-08 19:38:16 +00:00
Another use is to set colours, under the `[colors]` . The following labels are customizable with hex colour code strings:
2020-02-08 19:28:19 +00:00
- Table header colours (`table_header_color="#ffffff"`).
2020-02-08 19:38:16 +00:00
- Every CPU core colour as an array (`cpu_core_colors=["#ffffff", "#000000", "#111111"]`).
- bottom will look at 216 (let's be realistic here) colours at most, and in order.
- If not enough colours are provided for the number of threads on the CPU, then the rest will be automatically generated.
2020-02-08 19:28:19 +00:00
- RAM and SWAP colours (`ram_color="#ffffff"`, `swap_color="#111111"` ).
- RX and TX colours (`rx_color="#ffffff"`, `tx_color="#111111"` ).
2020-02-08 19:38:16 +00:00
- Widget title colour (`widget_title_color="#ffffff"`).
2020-02-08 19:28:19 +00:00
- General widget border colour (`border_color="#ffffff"`).
- Current widget border colour (`highlighted_border_color="#ffffff"`).
- Text colour (`text_color="#ffffff"`).
2020-02-08 19:38:16 +00:00
- Label and graph colour (`graph_color="#ffffff"`).
2020-02-08 19:28:19 +00:00
- Cursor colour (`cursor_color="#ffffff"`).
- Current selected scroll entry colour (`scroll_entry_text_color="#282828"`, `scroll_entry_bg_color="#458588"` ).
2020-02-07 05:28:26 +00:00
bottom will check specific locations by default for a config file.
- For Unix-based systems: `~/.config/btm/btm.toml` .
- For Windows: TBD.
2020-01-09 03:54:14 +00:00
2020-02-08 19:38:16 +00:00
