[](https://travis-ci.org/hishamhm/htop) [](http://hisham.hm/htop/index.php?page=donate) [htop](http://hisham.hm/htop/) ==== by Hisham Muhammad <hisham@gobolinux.org> (2004 - 2016) Introduction ------------ This is `htop`, an interactive process viewer. It requires `ncurses`. It is developed primarily on Linux, but we also have code for running under FreeBSD and Mac OS X (help and testing are wanted for these platforms!) This software has evolved considerably over the years, and is reasonably complete, but there is always room for improvement. Comparison between `htop` and classic `top` ------------------------------------------- * In `htop` you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally to see all processes and full command lines. * In `top` you are subject to a delay for each unassigned key you press (especially annoying when multi-key escape sequences are triggered by accident). * `htop` starts faster (`top` seems to collect data for a while before displaying anything). * In `htop` you don't need to type the process number to kill a process, in `top` you do. * In `htop` you don't need to type the process number or the priority value to renice a process, in `top` you do. * In `htop` you can kill multiple processes at once. * `top` is older, hence, more tested. Compilation instructions ------------------------ This program is distributed as a standard autotools-based package. See the [INSTALL](/INSTALL) file for detailed instructions. When compiling from a [release tarball](https://hisham.hm/htop/releases/), run: ./configure && make For compiling sources downloaded from the Git repository, run: ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make By default `make install` will install into `/usr/local`, for changing the path use `./configure --prefix=/some/path`. See the manual page (`man htop`) or the on-line help ('F1' or 'h' inside `htop`) for a list of supported key commands. If not all keys work check your curses configuration. ## License GNU General Public License, version 2 (GPL-2.0)
