tmux-mem-cpu-load

Works on Linux and OS X.

Prep ourself to download submodule (if you forgot --recursive when cloning):

git submodule init

Download submodule:

git submodule update

Change dir to tmux-mem-cpu-load:

cd ~/.tmux/vendor/tmux-mem-cpu-load

Make _build directory and cd into it:

mkdir _build; cd _build

General make file:

cmake ..

Compile binary:

make

Install our binary to /usr/local/bin/tmux-mem-cpu-load:

sudo make install

(No need to do sudo if on OS X / macOS)

Go home:

cd ~

Launch tmux:

tmux

And press Control + a then d to go back to the terminal.

Update config:

tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

basic-cpu-and-memory.tmux

(Cross platform, tested with python 2.7+)

Update March 19, 2014. Works with psutil 2.0 now.

Install psutil:

sudo pip install psutil

Copy ~/.tmux/vendor/basic-cpu-and-memory.tmux to bin:

sudo cp ~/.tmux/vendor/basic-cpu-and-memory.tmux /usr/local/bin/tmux-mem-cpu-load

make executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/tmux-mem-cpu-load

Powerline (Advanced)

You can add suport for powerline by adding these to your ~/.tmux.conf. Be sure to grab and install powerline-fonts for your system.

See Powerline on ReadTheDocs.org for more info.
