Building and installation from source

Quick install

install.sh installs the required build dependencies for the detected elementary OS version, then clones, builds, and installs the application:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kenkanuma/wingpanel-indicator-sysmon/master/install.sh | bash

Manual install

You'll need the following dependencies:

gettext
libglib2.0-dev
libgtop2-dev
libgranite-dev
libgtk-3-dev
libwingpanel-2.0-dev (Hera)
libwingpanel-dev (Odin)
libhandy-1-dev (Odin)
meson
valac

You can install them in elementary OS Hera running:

sudo apt install libgtop2-dev libgranite-dev libgtk-3-dev libwingpanel-2.0-dev meson valac

Or in elementary OS Odin/Horus running:

sudo apt install libgtop2-dev libgranite-dev libgtk-3-dev libwingpanel-dev libhandy-1-dev meson valac

Or in elementary OS Cirse running:

sudo apt install gettext libgtop2-dev libgranite-dev libgtk-3-dev libwingpanel-dev libhandy-1-dev meson valac

Changes in this fork

• Network/disk throughput is now displayed rounded to KB/s and up (no more raw B/s values); speeds below 1 KB/s show as 0 or 1 KB/s.
• Added spacing between the network icon and the up/down arrows in the network widget.
• Added Dependabot config for GitHub Actions updates.
• Added an install script that installs dependencies, builds, and installs the application.
