Support
Official
bottom officially supports the following operating systems and corresponding architectures:
- macOS (
x86_64) - Linux (
x86_64,i686,aarch64) - Windows (
x86_64,i686)
These platforms are tested to work for the most part and issues on these platforms will be fixed if possible. Furthermore, binaries are expected to be built and tested using the most recent version of stable Rust.
For more details on supported platforms and known problems, check out the documentation.
Unofficial
bottom may work on a number of platforms that aren't officially supported - these platforms may not be properly tested by maintainers prior to a stable release, or may receive more limited support, or missing features/problems that may not be fixed. Some of these may eventually be officially supported (e.g., FreeBSD, M1 macOS devices).
A non-comprehensive list of some currently unofficially supported platforms that may compile/work include:
- FreeBSD on
x86_64 - Linux on
armv6,armv7,powerpc64le,riscv64gc - macOS on
aarch64
For more details on unsupported platforms and known problems, check out the documentation.
Installation
Cargo
Installation via cargo is done by installing the bottom crate:
# If required, update Rust on the stable channel
rustup update stable
cargo install bottom --locked
# Alternatively, --locked may be omitted if you wish to not used locked dependencies:
cargo install bottom
Arch Linux
There is an official package that can be installed with pacman:
sudo pacman -Syu bottom
Debian/Ubuntu
A .deb file is provided on each stable release and
nightly builds for x86, aarch64, and armv7
(note stable ARM builds are only available for 0.6.8 and later). If you want to install this way, do something like:
curl -LO https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom/releases/download/0.7.0/bottom_0.7.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i bottom_0.7.0_amd64.deb
Snap
bottom is available as a snap:
sudo snap install bottom
# To allow the program to run as intended
sudo snap connect bottom:mount-observe
sudo snap connect bottom:hardware-observe
sudo snap connect bottom:system-observe
sudo snap connect bottom:process-control
Fedora/CentOS
Available in COPR:
sudo dnf copr enable atim/bottom -y
sudo dnf install bottom
Gentoo
Available in the official Gentoo repo:
sudo emerge --ask sys-process/bottom
Nix
nix-env -i bottom
Solus
sudo eopkg it bottom
Void
sudo xbps-install bottom
Homebrew
brew install bottom
MacPorts
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install bottom
Scoop
scoop install bottom
Chocolatey
Choco package located here. Since validation of the package takes time, it may take a while to become available after a release.
choco install bottom
# The version number may be required for newer releases during the approval process:
choco install bottom --version=0.7.0
winget
You can find the packages here:
winget install bottom
# Alternatively
winget install Clement.bottom
You can also manually do the same thing by going to the latest release
and installing via the .msi file.
You can uninstall via Control Panel, Options, or winget --uninstall bottom.
Manual installation
There are a few ways to go about doing this manually. Note that you probably want to do so using the most recent version of stable Rust, which is how the binaries are built:
# If required, update Rust on the stable channel first
rustup update stable
# Option 1 - Download from releases and install
curl -LO https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom/archive/0.7.0.tar.gz
tar -xzvf 0.7.0.tar.gz
cargo install --path .
# Option 2 - Clone from master and install manually
git clone https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom
cd bottom
cargo install --path .
# Option 3 - Clone and install directly from the repo all via Cargo
cargo install --git https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom
# You can also want to pass in the target-cpu=native flag for
# better CPU-specific optimizations. For example:
RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo install --path .
Binaries
You can also try to use the generated release binaries and manually install on your system:
- Latest stable release, generated off of the release branch
- Latest nightly release, generated daily off of the master branch at 00:00 UTC
- Note that for now, FreeBSD and ARM macOS builds are primarily only available on the nightly release.
Auto-completion
The release binaries are packaged with shell auto-completion files for bash, fish, zsh, and Powershell. To install them:
- For bash, move
btm.bashto$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bash_completion or /etc/bash_completion.d/. - For fish, move
btm.fishto$HOME/.config/fish/completions/. - For zsh, move
_btmto one of your$fpathdirectories. - For PowerShell, add
. _btm.ps1to your PowerShell profile.
Usage
You can run bottom using btm.
- For help on flags, use
btm -hfor a quick overview orbtm --helpfor more details. - For info on key and mouse bindings, press
?inside bottom or refer to the documentation.
You can find more information on usage in the documentation.
Configuration
bottom accepts a number of command-line arguments to change the behaviour of the application as desired. Additionally, bottom will automatically generate a configuration file on the first launch, which one can change as appropriate.
More details on configuration can be found in the documentation.

Contributors
Thanks to all contributors:
Thanks
-
This project is very much inspired by gotop, gtop, and htop.
-
This application was written with many, many libraries, and built on the work of many talented people. This application would be impossible without their work. I used to thank them all individually but the list got too large...
-
And of course, another round of thanks to all contributors and package maintainers!
