How to install htop on MacOS

htop is a great interactive process viewer in text-mode, but unfortunately it works only on Linux.
Fortunately I found in Github a htop version for OSX and it works perfectly.

To install it, before you’ll need to have git (if you already don’t have git installed :) ).
So, below you can see how to install it.

git clone git://github.com/AndyA/htop-osx.git
cd htop-osx
git checkout -b osx origin/osx
export CFLAGS="-m32"
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

To run it, just execute htop in your terminal. ;)

    What is wrong with the homebrew version?

    Diego, Mantas…

    Homebrew is another way to install htop on mac, but I already had some problems with homebrew and xcode, that’s why I prefer not to use it.
