I used to use htop, but switched to glances at some point, because of a quicker-to-find-the-info-you-want interface.

I use htop. I tried glances as I heard good things about it. It is nice, I like how it has more stuff -- disk, network. However it installed matplotlib, fonts-lyx, tk8.6, libjs-jquery-ui, python3-bottle, and a slew of other dependencies, not a big deal but something to watch for.

htop is an amazing upgrade to plain old top. Thank you for your work on this!

Agreed. And it's fun running it on a box with 32+ cores.

Is there a quick way to avoid having all those cores take up the top 32 lines of the screen?

Checking my 40 core machine in a typical terminal window, I can't see any of the processes, just 40 lines of CPU! Thanks.

If you press F2 you can change the setup for the top meters and switch it out with CPU average or other combinations of cores.

Were you adding it through apt-get or pip? With apt-get it's fairly painless.

    apt-cache depends glances

apt-get. It was painless, and I have the diskspace so not a big deal. Looking at package properties I see it recommends a bunch of packages, so it installed those and their deps (this is Ubuntu 15.10):

    hddtemp, lm-sensors, python3-docker,
    python3-bottle, python3-pysnmp4, 
    python3-influxdb ...

Huge htop fan. Honestly probably my favorite unix utility.

Just did `brew update && brew upgrade` but not seeing an htop update. I am still running htop 0.8.2.8 via brew.

Also tried on an AWS server running Ubuntu, same thing `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade` no new htop version available. Running htop 1.0.2.
