Glances is available now in Ubuntu 18.04 repo; about 27 other (small) Python pieces for dependencies on my Lubuntu netbook, everyone’s says may be a little different. Cool tool!

In reply to kiri. @Kiri, I think this PPA doesn't support latest version of Ubuntu or Linux Mint, however, you can install Glances from the default repositories with apt as shown:

$ sudo apt-get install glances

Hii Ravi you are right in case we want to check the cpu intensive process the glance command will show the critical option but if we use dual quad core processor then we can bind the process to core by taskset command..and else we use pidstat command..reply

@Awais,

No doubt that top command is all time best monitoring tool for Linux, but glances provides some fancy look with some more features..that’s it nothing extra..
