## News
##### 4 December 2025
Since there is a increasing amount of AI generated/assisted PR's, the following guidlines have been added to CONTRIBUTING.md:
* Submissions where the majority of the code is AI generated must be marked with [AI generated].
* "Vibe coded" PR's where it seems like the author doesn't understand the generated code will be dismissed.
##### 22 September 2024
Btop release v1.4.0
Intel GPU support added, note that only GPU utilization, power usage and clock speed available to monitor. Thanks to [@bjia56](https://github.com/bjia56) for contributions.
NetBSD support added. Thanks to [@fraggerfox](https://github.com/fraggerfox) for contributions.
See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) and latest [release](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/releases/latest) for detailed list of new features, bug fixes and new themes.
##### 7 January 2024
Btop release v1.3.0
Big release with GPU support added for Linux and platform support for OpenBSD. Big thanks to [@romner-set](https://github.com/romner-set) (GPU support) and [@joske](https://github.com/joske) (OpenBSD support) for contributions.
And a multitude of bugfixes and small changes, see [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) and latest [release](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/releases/latest) for detailed list and attributions.
See news entry below for more information regarding GPU support.
##### 25 November 2023
GPU monitoring added for Linux!
Compile from git main to try it out.
Use keys `5`, `6`, `7` and `0` to show/hide the gpu monitoring boxes. `5` = Gpu 1, `6` = Gpu 2, etc.
Gpu stats/graphs can also be displayed in the "Cpu box" (not as verbose), see the cpu options menu for info and configuration.
Note that the binaries provided on the release page (when released) and the continuous builds will not have gpu support enabled.
Because the GPU support relies on loading of dynamic gpu libraries, gpu support will not work when also static linking.
See [Compilation Linux](#compilation-linux) for more info on how to compile with gpu monitoring support.
Many thanks to [@romner-set](https://github.com/romner-set) who wrote the vast majority of the implementation for GPU support.
Big update with version bump to 1.3 coming soon.
##### 28 August 2022
[](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop4win)
First release of btop4win available at https://github.com/aristocratos/btop4win
<details>
<summary>More...</summary>
##### 16 January 2022
Release v1.2.0 with FreeBSD support. No release binaries for FreeBSD provided as of yet.
Again a big thanks to [@joske](https://github.com/joske) for his porting efforts!
Since compatibility with Linux, macOS and FreeBSD are done, the focus going forward will be on new features like GPU monitoring.
##### 13 November 2021
Release v1.1.0 with macOS support. Binaries in [continuous-build-macos](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/actions/workflows/continuous-build-macos.yml) are only x86 for now.
macOS binaries + installer are included for both x86 and ARM64 (Apple Silicon) in the releases.
Big thank you to [@joske](https://github.com/joske) who wrote the vast majority of the implementation!
##### 30 October 2021
Work on the OSX [macOS] and FreeBSD branches, both initiated and mostly worked on by [@joske](https://github.com/joske), will likely be completed in the coming weeks.
The OSX [macOS] branch has some memory leaks that needs to be sorted out and both have some issues with the processes cpu usage calculation and other smaller issues that needs fixing.
If you want to help out, test for bugs/fix bugs or just try out the branches:
**macOS / OSX**
```bash
# Install and use Homebrew or MacPorts package managers for easy dependency installation
brew install coreutils make gcc@11 lowdown
git clone https://github.com/aristocratos/btop.git
cd btop
git checkout OSX
gmake
```
**FreeBSD**
```bash
sudo pkg install gmake gcc11 coreutils git lowdown
git clone https://github.com/aristocratos/btop.git
cd btop
git checkout freebsd
gmake
```
Note that GNU make (`gmake`) is recommended but not required for macOS/OSX but it is required on FreeBSD.
##### 6 October 2021
macOS development have been started by [@joske](https://github.com/joske), big thanks :)
See branch [OSX](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/tree/OSX) for current progress.
##### 18 September 2021
The Linux version of btop++ is complete. Released as version 1.0.0
I will be providing statically compiled binaries for a range of architectures in every release for those having problems compiling.
For compilation GCC 11 is required.
Please report any bugs to the [Issues](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/new?assignees=aristocratos&labels=bug&template=bug_report.md&title=%5BBUG%5D) page.
The development plan right now:
* 1.1.0 macOS [OSX] support
* 1.2.0 FreeBSD support
* 1.3.0 Support for GPU monitoring
* 1.X.0 Other platforms and features...
Windows support is not in the plans as of now, but if anyone else wants to take it on, I will try to help.
##### 5 May 2021
This project is gonna take some time until it has complete feature parity with bpytop, since all system information gathering will have to be written from scratch without any external libraries.
And will need some help in the form of code contributions to get complete support for BSD and macOS/OSX.
</details>
## Documents
**[CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md)**
**[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)**
**[CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)**
## Description
Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes.
C++ version and continuation of [bashtop](https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop) and [bpytop](https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop).
## Features
* Easy to use, with a game inspired menu system.
* Full mouse support: all buttons with a highlighted key are clickable and mouse scrolling works in process list and menu boxes.
* Fast and responsive UI with UP, DOWN key process selection.
* Function for showing detailed stats for selected process.
* Ability to filter processes.
* Easy switching between sorting options.
* Tree view of processes.
* Send any signal to selected process.
* Pause the process list.
* UI menu for changing all config file options.
* Auto scaling graph for network usage.
* Shows IO activity and speeds for disks.
* Battery meter
* Selectable symbols for the graphs.
* Custom presets
* And more...
## Themes
Btop++ uses the same theme files as bpytop and bashtop (some color values missing in bashtop themes).
See [themes](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/tree/main/themes) folder for available themes.
Btop searches the following directories for system themes:
* `../share/btop/themes` (this path is relative to the btop executable)
* `/usr/local/share/btop/themes`
* `/usr/share/btop/themes`
The first directory that exists and isn't empty is used as the system themes directory.
The user themes directory depends on which environment variables are set:
* If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is set, the user themes directory is `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/btop/themes`
* Otherwise, if `$HOME` is set, the user themes directory is `$HOME/.config/btop/themes`
* Otherwise, the user themes directory is `~/.config/btop/themes`
The `make install` command places the default themes in `[$PREFIX or /usr/local]/share/btop/themes`.
User created themes should be placed in the user themes directory.
Use the `--themes-dir` command-line option to specify a custom themes directory.
When specified, this directory takes priority over the default search paths.
Let me know if you want to contribute with new themes.
## Support and funding
You can sponsor this project through GitHub. See [my sponsors page](https://github.com/sponsors/aristocratos) for options.
Or donate through [PayPal](https://paypal.me/aristocratos) or [ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/aristocratos).
Any support is greatly appreciated!
## Prerequisites
For the best experience run within a terminal with support for:
* 24-bit truecolor ([See list of terminals with truecolor support](https://github.com/termstandard/colors))
* 256-color terminals are supported through 24-bit to 256-color conversion when setting "truecolor" to False in the options or with "-lc/--low-color" arguments.
* 16 color TTY mode will be activated if a real tty device is detected. Can be forced with "-t/--tty" arguments.
* Wide characters (Are sometimes problematic in web-based terminals)
Also necessary is a UTF8 locale and a font that includes:
* Unicode Block “Braille Patterns” U+2800 - U+28FF (Not needed in TTY mode or with graphs set to type: block or tty.)
* Unicode Block “Geometric Shapes” U+25A0 - U+25FF
* Unicode Block "Box Drawing" and "Block Elements" U+2500 - U+259F
### **Optional Dependencies (Needed for GPU monitoring) (Only Linux)**
GPU monitoring also requires a btop binary built with GPU support (`GPU_SUPPORT=true` flag).
See [GPU compatibility](#gpu-compatibility) section for more about compiling with GPU support.
* **NVIDIA**
If you have an NVIDIA GPU you must use an official NVIDIA driver, both the closed-source and open-source ones have been verified to work.
In addition to that you must also have the nvidia-ml dynamic library installed, which should be included with the driver package of your distribution.
* **AMD**
If you have an AMD GPU `rocm_smi_lib` is required, which may or may not be packaged for your distribution.
* **INTEL**
Requires a working C compiler if compiling from source.
Also requires the user to have permission to read from SYSFS.
Can be set with `make setcap` (preferred) or `make setuid` or by running btop with `sudo` or equivalent.
### **Notice (Text rendering issues)**
* If you are having problems with the characters in the graphs not looking like they do in the screenshots, it's likely a problem with your systems configured fallback font not having support for braille characters.
* See [Terminess Powerline](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/patched-fonts/Terminus/TerminessNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf) for an example of a font that includes the braille symbols.
* See comments by @sgleizes [link](https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop/issues/100#issuecomment-684036827) and @XenHat [link](https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop/issues/100#issuecomment-691585587) in issue #100 for possible solutions.
* If text is misaligned and you use Konsole or Yakuake, turning off "Bi-Directional text rendering" is a possible fix.
* Characters clipping into each other or text/border misalignments are not bugs caused by btop, but most likely a fontconfig or terminal problem where the braille characters making up the graphs aren't rendered correctly.
* Look to the creators of the terminal emulator you use to fix these issues if the previously mentioned fixes don't work for you.

```
## Compilation Linux
Requires at least GCC 14 or Clang 19.
The Makefile also needs GNU `coreutils` and `sed` (should already be installed on any modern distribution).
### GPU compatibility
Btop++ supports Nvidia and AMD GPUs and Intel IGPUs out of the box on Linux x86_64, provided you have the correct drivers and libraries.
Gpu support for Nvidia or AMD will not work when static linking glibc (or musl, etc.)!
For x86_64 Linux the flag `GPU_SUPPORT` is automatically set to `true`, to manually disable gpu support set the flag to false, like:
`make GPU_SUPPORT=false` (or `cmake -DBTOP_GPU=false` with CMake)
* **NVIDIA**
You must use an official NVIDIA driver, both the closed-source and [open-source](https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules) ones have been verified to work.
In addition to that you must also have the `nvidia-ml` dynamic library installed, which should be included with the driver package of your distribution.
* **AMD**
AMDGPU data is queried using the [ROCm SMI](https://github.com/rocm/rocm_smi_lib) library, which may or may not be packaged for your distribution. If your distribution doesn't provide a package, btop++ is statically linked to ROCm SMI with the `RSMI_STATIC=true` make flag.
This flag expects the ROCm SMI source code in `lib/rocm_smi_lib`, and compilation will fail if it's not there. The latest tested version is 5.6.x, which can be obtained with the following command:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/rocm/rocm_smi_lib.git --depth 1 -b rocm-5.6.x lib/rocm_smi_lib
```

### With CMake (Community maintained)
</summary>
1. **Install build dependencies**
Requires Clang / GCC, CMake, Ninja, Lowdown and Git
For example, with Debian Bookworm:
```bash
sudo apt install cmake git g++ ninja-build lowdown
```
2. **Clone the repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/aristocratos/btop.git && cd btop
``````
3. **Compile**
```bash
# Configure
cmake -B build -G Ninja
# Build
cmake --build build
```
This will automatically build a release version of btop.
Some useful options to pass to the configure step:
| Configure flag | Description |
|---------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `-DBTOP_STATIC=<ON\|OFF>` | Enables static linking (OFF by default) |
| `-DBTOP_LTO=<ON\|OFF>` | Enables link time optimization (ON by default) |
| `-DBTOP_GPU=<ON\|OFF>` | Enable GPU support (ON by default) |
| `-DBTOP_RSMI_STATIC=<ON\|OFF>` | Build and link the ROCm SMI library statically (OFF by default) |
| `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>` | The installation prefix ('/usr/local' by default) |
To force any other compiler, run `CXX=<compiler> cmake -B build -G Ninja`
4. **Install**
```bash
cmake --install build
```
May require root privileges
5. **Uninstall**
CMake doesn't generate an uninstall target by default. To remove installed files, run
```
cat build/install_manifest.txt | xargs rm -irv
```
6. **Cleanup build directory**
```bash
cmake --build build -t clean
```

```
3. **Compile**
```bash
# Configure
export LLVM_PREFIX="$(brew --prefix llvm)"
export CXX="$LLVM_PREFIX/bin/clang++"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$LLVM_PREFIX/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L$LLVM_PREFIX/lib -L$LLVM_PREFIX/lib/c++ -Wl,-rpath,$LLVM_PREFIX/lib/c++ -fuse-ld=$LLVM_PREFIX/bin/ld64.lld"
cmake -B build -G Ninja
# Build
cmake --build build
```
This will automatically build a release version of btop.
Some useful options to pass to the configure step:
| Configure flag | Description |
|---------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `-DBTOP_LTO=<ON\|OFF>` | Enables link time optimization (ON by default) |
| `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>` | The installation prefix ('/usr/local' by default) |
To force any specific compiler, run `CXX=<compiler> cmake -B build -G Ninja`
4. **Install**
```bash
cmake --install build
```
May require root privileges
5. **Uninstall**
CMake doesn't generate an uninstall target by default. To remove installed files, run
```
cat build/install_manifest.txt | xargs rm -irv
```
6. **Cleanup build directory**
```bash
cmake --build build -t clean
```

## Compilation FreeBSD
Requires at least Clang 19 (default) or GCC 14.
Note that GNU make (`gmake`) is required to compile on FreeBSD.
<details>
<summary>
### With gmake
</summary>
1. **Install dependencies**
```bash
sudo pkg install gmake coreutils git lowdown
```
2. **Clone repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/aristocratos/btop.git
cd btop
```
3. **Compile**
```bash
gmake
```
Options for make:
| Flag | Description |
|---------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `VERBOSE=true` | To display full compiler/linker commands |
| `STATIC=true` | For static compilation (only libgcc and libstdc++) |
| `QUIET=true` | For less verbose output |
| `STRIP=true` | To force stripping of debug symbols (adds `-s` linker flag) |
| `DEBUG=true` | Sets OPTFLAGS to `-O0 -g` and enables more verbose debug logging |
| `ARCH=<architecture>` | To manually set the target architecture |
| `ADDFLAGS=<flags>` | For appending flags to both compiler and linker |
| `CXX=<compiler>` | Manually set which compiler to use |
Example: `gmake ADDFLAGS=-march=native` might give a performance boost if compiling only for your own system.
4. **Install**
```bash
sudo gmake install
```
Append `PREFIX=/target/dir` to set target, default: `/usr/local`
Notice! Only use "sudo" when installing to a NON user owned directory.
5. **(Recommended) Set suid bit to make btop always run as root (or other user)**
```bash
sudo gmake setuid
```
No need for `sudo` to see information for non user owned processes and to enable signal sending to any process.
Run after make install and use same PREFIX if any was used at install.
Set `SU_USER` and `SU_GROUP` to select user and group, default is `root` and `wheel`
* **Uninstall**
```bash
sudo gmake uninstall
```
* **Remove any object files from source dir**
```bash
gmake clean
```
* **Remove all object files, binaries and created directories in source dir**
```bash
gmake distclean
```
* **Show help**
```bash

## Testing
Testing requires [CMake](cmake.org). Tests are build by default and can be run with `ctest --test-dir <build>`.
If you want to disable building tests, pass `-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF` to the configure step.
## Installing the snap
[](https://snapcraft.io/btop)
### Note: there are now two snaps available: `btop` and `btop-desktop`. The desktop version is much larger and includes the desktop entries needed to allow for launching `btop` with a click.
* **Install the snap**
```bash
sudo snap install btop
or
sudo snap install btop-desktop
```
* **Install the latest snap from the edge channel**
```
sudo snap install btop --edge
or
sudo snap install btop-desktop --edge
```
* **Connect the interface**
```bash
sudo snap connect btop:removable-media
or
sudo snap connect btop-desktop:removable-media
```
