Awesome! Installing htop is the first thing I do on my *nix systems. The update is still not up on Homebrew, shouldn't take long though.

- sublimino 11y agoPerhaps you're referring to Linuxbrew - "a fork of Homebrew, the Mac OS package manager, for Linux." It exposes the same repository as its OSX counterpart, with linux-flavoured customisations where necessary. From feature list at http://linuxbrew.sh/ http://linuxbrew.sh/ - Can install software to a home directory and so does not require sudo - Install software not packaged by the native distribution - Install up-to-date versions of software when the native distribution is old - Use the same package manager to manage both your Mac and Linux machines
- pcx 11y agoNope, I am talking about Homebrew, it provides the best way to install htop on OSX.
- Chris911 11y agoThe htop package on Homebrew is a fork of the original for OS X called htop-osx. https://github.com/AndyA/htop-osx https://github.com/AndyA/htop-osx
- pcx 11y agoDidn't know that! Thanks for sharing. I hope the fork will be deprecated now for the official one. There's already a related issue on the repo.
- jdcarter 11y agoFWIW, I did an install from source and it was totally painless--no dependencies to track down. ./configure, make, sudo make install and you're done.
- pcx 11y agoCool, thanks for sharing! I'll still prefer waiting for a Homebrew update, too addicted to the comfort of package managers :).
