Were you adding it through apt-get or pip? With apt-get it's fairly painless. apt-cache depends glances Depends: python-psutil Depends: python:i386 python Depends: python:i386 python Depends: python Depends: python-pkg-resources Depends: adduser Depends: lsb-base Recommends: python-jinja2

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 ...

optional dependencies are optional for a reason, no real reason to bring it up as a con.

Ok so I know of and have tried top, atop, htop, ntop. What else is out there??

iftop for network stuff

"iotop -o" is also useful, for seeing if that process is actually writing to disk

powertop is a great utility for improving laptop battery life - it highlights the things you need to adjust to reduce power usage

pgtop for postgres, but I've never used it

not "top"-branded, but lnav is an ncurses-based log navigator that's partially comprised of magic

and, of course, there are many varieties of "desktop" cough

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh, really want to stick with using native package managers (brew, apt). Did you just add htop to the apt exclude?

I too would like to know how to install via brew.

I quickly and hackily did `brew edit htop` and made these changes to install htop 2.0: https://gist.github.com/bmorton/231bc3d6b3aa6fbefd48

I've got it on my list to fully fix it up and submit a PR, but feel free to flesh out my changes and submit instead :D

I just described by experience of installing it. It wasn't a huge issue, I installed them anyway after all.
