About the project

btop is resource monitor that shows CPU, memory, disk and network activity together. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

Where the project comes from

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

Check compatibility first

Check platform requirements first. Recent releases usually need a current runtime and a reasonably modern system.

Checking the result

If the outcome differs from what you expected, the cause is nearly always resolution rather than the project itself — an older copy, a different channel, or a stale cache.

A note about this domain

Nothing is published from this domain beyond text. Projects stay where their maintainers put them.
