I'd like to get Glances running on unRAID, see home page for screen shots and info:

 

https://github.com/nicolargo/glances

 

It has the following Pre-requisites:

 

    Python 2.6+ (not tested with Python 3+)

    build-essential (for installation via Pypi and setup.py)

    python-dev (for installation via Pypi)

    python-setuptools (for the installation via setup.py)

    python-psutil 0.4.1+ (replace the old libstatgrab's lib)

    python-jinja2 2.0+ (optional for HTML export)

 

Naturally, python setup.py install failed, with this message:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 6, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools

 

Is there anyone who's interested in creating a package of Glances? Or direct me how to install those pre-requisities?

 

You need to install setuptools

 

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg
./setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

 

The rest, I'm not sure about.

as one with ZERO programming skills, this would be a brilliant tool to have..

 

good luck..

 

 

Out of the prerequisites you listed python-dev is not needed, and python-psutil is actually downloaded by the setup/install script. The main issue is finding out what aspects of build-essentials is needed as slackware doesn't have a build-essentials package, mainly due to the fact that a stock slackware install includes all programs needed to compile, other standard linux distro's often do not(and subsequently a build-essentials package is usually made).

 

Also as stated, Python-jinja2 is optional, and unless you run a webserver from your unraid would be almost useless from a practical standpoint.

 

It looks very similar to htop, which has pretty much everything glances does aside from the network i/o information.

I installed it with just the 2 files listed above and the unmenu GCC package and it works great.  Never used htop, but the coloring is nice, warns of excessive in progressive colors, green, yellow, red etc.

Never used the unmenu package, good, looks like we do have a build-essentials package,

Can you post what you did to get it installed

Shot

Downloaded glances and setuptools from links above.

 

unMenu is already installed, install the GCC package

 

chmod +x setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

./setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

unzip nicolargo-glances-v1.4.1.1-28-gb5d68b1.zip

cd nicolargo-glances-b5d68b1

python setup.py install

 

then just 'glances' from a terminal

 

the above 5 steps will need to be redone after every boot as glances is installed to ram and lost

 

also making the gcc unmenu package auto install every boot takes alot of the ram drive as well as it is not needed except to compile/install the setuptools
