dependency
python3-psutil (5.5.1-1) this was not enough needed dev too.
python3-all-dev (3.7.3-1) so dropped this on too.

But the way I installed it with pip3 install bpytop --upgrade but then again I,m not normal.

I use it with antiX and the main reason I install from pip the developer updates it all time, some times every few days and upon opening get dunst notify about an update. Sorry if confused you.

manyroads wrote: Sat Oct 10, 2020 9:55 am The issue with BpyTop is that the developer changes the code some 10 times per month. BTW. the current version is 1.0.42. AND, it throws a huge error (reminder?) message when your version is 'old'. Like @Helen-Earth, I just update it using PIP3 every once in a while... If you want something less volatile you're better off using his BashTop (even though he wants everyone to use the python variant.)

I get what you are saying about it being updated by the dev so fast. But users shouldn’t have to use pip to install packages, especially new users.

Helen-Earth wrote: Tue Oct 27, 2020 7:20 pm They have been busy lately with updates, the thing I like about bpytop they are always adding new things to make it better. The 14 open issues on their git at the moment are just enhancement requests. GPU should be added soon. https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop/issues
And I switch opening bpytop between kitty & alacritty as both are GPU based terminals just for testing.
