If you’re a regular Linux user, you’ve likely used the ‘top’ command to view a list of processes. However, you might not be familiar with ‘iotop,’ which is somewhat similar to ‘top’ but specifically monitors disk read, write, swap, and I/O for each active process.
Follow these steps for installation:
For RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora Linux:
- Start by updating your Linux kernel to the latest version:
yum update kernel
- Install the required Python modules:
yum install python python-ctypes
- Use the yum package installer to install iotop:
yum install iotop
- To run iotop, simply enter the following command:
iotop
By following these steps, you can successfully install iotop on your Linux system.
