The [install script](https://github.com/danielme85/wtop/blob/main/remote-install.sh) auto-detects your architecture (amd64 or arm64), downloads the latest release binary from GitHub, and places it in `~/.local/bin` (or `~/bin`). No authentication required.\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielme85/wtop/main/remote-install.sh | sh\n```\n\nYou can override the install location with `INSTALL_DIR`:\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielme85/wtop/main/remote-install.sh | INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh\n```\n\nOr if you prefer to download manually, grab the binary for your platform from the [Releases page](https://github.com/danielme85/wtop/releases).\n\n### Docker\n\n```bash\ndocker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t wtop .\ndocker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock wtop\n```\n\n### Cross-compilation\n\n```bash\ncross build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu\n```\n\n---\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\nwtop          # launch the TUI\n              # press 'q' to quit\n```\n\n### CLI Options\n\n| Flag | Description |\n|------|-------------|\n| `--version`, `-V` | Print version, build date, branch, and commit hash |\n| `--update` | Check GitHub for a newer release and self-update |\n| `--reinstall` | Force reinstall of the latest release (even if already up to date) |\n\n---\n\n## Navigation\n\n| Key | Action |\n|-----|--------|\n| `Up` / `Down` | Navigate containers or scroll content |\n| `Right` / `Left` | Switch pages: List \u0026rarr; Detail \u0026rarr; Resources \u0026rarr; Logs |\n| `Enter` | Open action menu for selected container |\n| `PgUp` / `PgDn` | Switch container on detail/resources/logs pages |\n| `s` | Open settings (from any page) |\n| `a` | Toggle auto-scroll (logs page) |\n| `q` | Quit |\n\n---\n\n## Settings\n\nAll settings are editable in-app via the Settings page (`s` key) and persisted to:\n\n```\n~/.config/wtop/settings.toml\n```\n\n| Setting | Options | Default |\n|---------|---------|---------|\n| **Aggregation Mode** | Average, Max, Last | Average |\n| **Aggregation Window** | 0.25s to 5.0s (in 0.25s steps) | 1.0s |\n| **Color Theme** | Norse, Light, Dark, Monochrome | Norse |\n| **Refresh Rate** | 250ms, 500ms, 1s, 2s | 250ms |\n| **Log Buffer Size** | 100, 200, 500, 1000 lines | 200 |\n| **Poll All Containers** | Off, On | Off |\n| **Column Visibility** | ID, Name, Image, Status, CPU, MEM, Disk, Network (toggle each) | ID, Name, Image, Status |\n| **Mini Bars** | CPU, MEM, Disk, Network (toggle each) | All off |\n\n\u003e **Tip:** Enable *Poll All Containers* to collect background stats for every running container. This preserves sparkline graph history when switching between containers, and enables live activity indicators on the list page.\n\n---\n\n## Tech Stack\n\n| Crate | Purpose |\n|-------|---------|\n| [**Ratatui**](https://ratatui.rs) + **Crossterm** | Terminal UI rendering (immediate mode) |\n| [**Bollard**](https://github.com/fussybeaver/bollard) | Async Docker Engine API client |\n| [**Tokio**](https://tokio.rs) | Async runtime |\n| [**Serde**](https://serde.rs) + **TOML** | Settings serialization |\n\n---\n\n## Built with Claude Code\n\nThis project was built with [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) by Anthropic — an agentic coding tool that lives in the terminal.
