Linux System Monitor

ncurses

• ncurses is a library that facilitates text-based graphical output in the terminal. This project relies on ncurses for display output.

• Within the Udacity Workspace, .student_bashrc automatically installs ncurses every time you launch the Workspace.

• If you are not using the Workspace, install ncurses within your own Linux environment: sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
