System-Monitor

The System Monitor is a C++ project utilizing the ncurses library to provide real-time monitoring of system resources and processes on Unix-based systems. It offers a simple setup process, compiling with CMake, and displays essential information such as CPU usage and active processes in the terminal.

To setup and compile:

1. Clone this repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/akshaypatel774/System-Monitor.git

2. Install ncurses package

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

3. Create a build directory and navigate into it

mkdir build && cd build

4. Configure the build and Compile

cmake ..
make

5. Run the executable:

./monitor

6. In case of error that looks like the following:

root@77e30fca8a01:/home/workspace/CppND-Object-Oriented# ./a.out
*** %n in writable segment detected ***
                                      Aborted (core dumped)

just keep trying ./monitor and it should work eventually!

The program will continuously display system information and a list of processes, refreshing every second.

Required Dependencies:

Make sure you have the following dependencies installed before compiling the project:
