Important Note

Important

This project is WIP, the initial idea was to built a full desktop app using fbs, PySide6, ... As current state can tell, this is only a funny little project on which I don't plan on working anymore. The code is therefore really simple and basic.

Adding FluidStat as a command

If you wish to have FluidStat available as a global command in your Linux terminal, you can follow these steps:

1. You need to access the bin/ folder located at the root of your system (~/bin)

2. Once your are there, create a new file:

   sudo touch FluidStat

   You need sudo as you are in the system files

3. You then have to add this content to it:

   python3 /../../home/USER/PATH_TO_PROJECT/FluidStat/plot.py $1

   Where USER is your Linux username and PATH_TO_PROJECT the path to where you installed the project

   You may need to use sudo vim FluidStat or sudo nano FluidStat

4. Give the autorisation to execute the file:

   sudo chmod +x FluidStat

5. You should now be able to launch the command from anywhere:

   FluidStat -cpu
   FluidStat -ram
   FluidStat -btry
