# libsysstat
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
libsysstat is a library to query system information like CPU and memory usage or network traffic. Conceptually it's roughly similar to [libstatgrab](https://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab), a third-party library used by LXQt as well.
|
||||
|
||||
It is maintained by the LXQt project but can be used independently from this desktop environment, too. As for LXQt libsysstat is used by plugin-sysstat of lxqt-panel and hence an optional dependency of the latter.
|
||||
|
||||
Note replacing both libsysstat and libstatgrab in LXQt by KDE Frameworks components is being considered but a final decision hasn't been made yet, see https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/704.

|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### Sources
|
||||
|
||||
The only runtime dependency is qtbase. To build CMake is needed in addition, as well as optionally Git to pull latest VCS checkouts.
|
||||
|
||||
Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` will normally have to be set to `/usr`, depending on the way library paths are dealt with on 64bit systems variables like `CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR` may have to be set as well.
|
||||
|
||||
To build run `make`, to install `make install` which accepts variable `DESTDIR` as usual.
|
||||
|
||||
### Binary packages
|
||||
|
||||
The library is provided by all major Linux distributions like Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE.
|
||||
Just use the distributions' package managers to search for string `libsysstat`.
