# Memrescue

Memrescue keeps your Linux desktop fast and responsive by proactively killing programs using too much memory and clearing swap/caches as needed.

## Installation

You can install Memrescue using make:

```sh

$ make

$ sudo make install

```

Then, you can make it start on boot with systemd:

```sh

$ systemctl enable memrescue # Add --now to also start it immediately

```

## Uninstallation

You can uninstall Memrescue using make:

```sh

$ sudo make uninstall

```

This will also disable and stop `memrescue.service`.

## Updating

If you enabled `memrescue.service`, update with `sudo make update` to recompile Memrescue and restart the service. Otherwise, use `sudo make install`.

## Usage (without systemd)

```sh

$ sudo memrescue

```

## Configuring Memrescue

You can edit any of the options in `config.hpp`. However, you will need to compile Memrescue again, as if you are updating it.
