Introduction
------------
`htop` is a cross-platform interactive process viewer.
It requires `ncurses`.
For more information and details on how to contribute to `htop`
visit [htop.dev](https://htop.dev).
Build instructions
------------------
This program is distributed as a standard autotools-based package.
For detailed instructions see the [INSTALL](/INSTALL) file, which
is created after `./autogen.sh` is run.
When compiling from a [release tarball](https://github.com/htop-dev/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.
