# Quick setup, suited to the desktop interfaces of at least GNOME, MATE and Budgie



```Bash



if using ayatana based appindicators:



sudo apt install python3-psutil gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1



if using ubuntu based appindicators:

sudo apt install python3-psutil gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1



Then:



git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor.git

cd indicator-sysmonitor

sudo make install

cd ..

rm -rf indicator-sysmonitor

nohup indicator-sysmonitor &

```



Output configurations can be accessed by clicking on the Indicator-Sysmonitor applet, selecting Preferences, then Advanced and then entering text into the "Customize output:" text entry field. Some suggested output configurations are as follows:



## Standard Setup Example



```

║{net}	║{publiccountryiso}║cpu:{cpu}/{cputemp}║m/fs:{mem}/{fs///}║

```



## A setup with Nvidia GPU



```

║{net}	║country:{publiccountryiso}║cpu:{cpu}/{cputemp}║gpu:{nvgpu}/{nvgputemp}║m/fs:{mem}/{fs///}║

```

## Another example setup with Nvidia eGPU and AMD iGPU running in the same system

```

{net}	║CPU {cpu} {cputemp} ║RD {amdgpu} NV {nvgpu} {nvgputemp} ║ MEM {mem} {swap} ║ {fs///}

```

Note: `nvidia-smi` command should work normally and(/or) your `card0` should be the radeon gpu. You can test it with this command:

```

cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/gpu_busy_percent

```

If we run this command, we can see the cards:

```

ls /sys/class/drm/

```

on the system that was running the config above, `card0` is the Radeon integrated GPU and `card1` is the external Nvidia GPU.

Indicator-SysMonitor

===================

An Application Indicator showing cpu temperature, memory, network speed, cpu usage, public IP address and internet connection status .



Works with Unity, Xubuntu, Gnome-Shell + app-indicator extension together with any other desktop environments that support AppIndicators.



Also works with the Budgie-Desktop



Offers the possibility to run your own command and display its output.



----



## Custom scripts



Create your own scripts (for example in bash).  Give the script execute permission (chmod +x scriptname)



A script must output one line of text - e.g. using "echo" in bash



The indicator can change the icon being displayed by recognising the output of a sensor "USE_ICON:full_path_to_.svg"



## Set the display order of the indicator



To force the indicator to appear on the left-side of all indicators you must use a override file as described here:

Installation - Budgie-Desktop:



On budgie-desktop based installation  - manual installation



    sudo apt-get install python3-psutil curl git

    git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor.git

    cd indicator-sysmonitor

    sudo make installbudgie

    budgie-panel --replace &

    

    Then use Raven to add the "Panel Sys Monitor" applet



Installation - App Indicator based desktops:



On Ubuntu and derivatives - manual installation



    sudo apt-get install python3-psutil curl git gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1

    git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor.git

    cd indicator-sysmonitor

    sudo make install

    nohup indicator-sysmonitor &

    

To remove:



    cd indicator-sysmonitor

    sudo make uninstall

        

To install the AppIndicator via PPA:



    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install indicator-sysmonitor

    

    Search in the dash for "indicator-sysmonitor" to run



To install the Budgie Applet via PPA:



    open budgie-welcome - Install Software - Budgie Applets
