Introduction:
The Linux operating system has different tools available for monitoring resource usage. The “bpytop” tool is also one such tool. Its functionality is very much similar to “top” and “Htop”. This article will teach you the complete procedure of installing the bpytop utility on a Linux Mint 20 system.
Installing bpytop on Linux Mint 20:
For installing bpytop on Linux Mint 20, you need to perform the steps explained below:
Step # 1: Check if Python is installed on your system or not:
First, we will check if Python is installed on our Linux Mint 20 system or not since it is a pre-requisite for bpytop installation. We can check it out with the help of the following command:
