CppND-System-Monitor

Starter code for System Monitor Project in the Object Oriented Programming Course of the Udacity C++ Nanodegree Program.

Follow along with the classroom lesson to complete the project!

Udacity Linux Workspace

Udacity provides a browser-based Linux Workspace for students.

You are welcome to develop this project on your local machine, and you are not required to use the Udacity Workspace. However, the Workspace provides a convenient and consistent Linux development environment we encourage you to try.

ncurses

ncurses is a library that facilitates text-based graphical output in the terminal. This project relies on ncurses for display output.

Within the Udacity Workspace, .student_bashrc automatically installs ncurses every time you launch the Workspace.

If you are not using the Workspace, install ncurses within your own Linux environment: sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

Make

This project uses Make. The Makefile has four targets:

• build compiles the source code and generates an executable
• format applies ClangFormat to style the source code
• debug compiles the source code and generates an executable, including debugging symbols
• clean deletes the build/ directory, including all of the build artifacts

Instructions

1. Clone the project repository: git clone https://github.com/udacity/CppND-System-Monitor-Project-Updated.git

2. Build the project: make build

3. Run the resulting executable: ./build/monitor

4. Follow along with the lesson.

5. Implement the System, Process, and Processor classes, as well as functions within the LinuxParser namespace.

6. Submit!
