Installation
============
Several method to test/install Glances on your system. Choose your weapon !
Glances Auto Install script: the total way
------------------------------------------
To install both dependencies and latest Glances production ready version
(aka *master* branch), just enter the following command line:
.. code-block:: console
curl -L http://bit.ly/glances | /bin/bash
or
.. code-block:: console
wget -O- http://bit.ly/glances | /bin/bash
*Note*: Only supported on some GNU/Linux distributions. If you want to
support other distributions, please contribute to `glancesautoinstall`_.
PyPI: The simple way
--------------------
Glances is on ``PyPI``. By using PyPI, you are sure to have the latest
stable version.
To install, simply use ``pip``:
.. code-block:: console
pip install glances
*Note*: Python headers are required to install `psutil`_. For example,
on Debian/Ubuntu you need to install first the *python-dev* package.
For Fedora/CentOS/RHEL install first *python-devel* package.
You can also install the following libraries in order to use optional
features (like the Web interface):
.. code-block:: console
pip install bottle batinfo https://bitbucket.org/gleb_zhulik/py3sensors/get/tip.tar.gz zeroconf netifaces pymdstat influxdb potsdb statsd pystache docker-py pysnmp pika py-cpuinfo scandir
Install or upgrade Glances from the Git ``develop`` repository:
.. code-block:: console
git clone -b develop https://github.com/nicolargo/glances.git
To upgrade Glances to the latest version:
.. code-block:: console
pip install --upgrade glances
If you need to install Glances in a specific user location, use:
.. code-block:: console
export PYTHONUSERBASE=~/mylocalpath
pip install --user glances
Docker: the funny way
---------------------
A Glances container is available. It will include the latest development HEAD version. You can use it to monitor your server and all your others containers !
Get the Glances container:
.. code-block:: console
docker pull nicolargo/glances
Run the container in console mode:
.. code-block:: console
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro --pid host -it docker.io/nicolargo/glances

---------
At the moment, packages exist for the following GNU/Linux distributions:
- Arch Linux
- Debian
- Fedora/CentOS/RHEL
- Gentoo
- Slackware (SlackBuild)
- Ubuntu

So you should be able to install it using your favorite package manager.
