slurm started as a FreeBSD port of the Linux ppp link monitor called pppstatus by Gabriel Montenegro. Hendrik Scholz ripped off the ppp dependent parts and the email checks to turn it into a generic network load monitor for *BSD, Linux, HP-UX and Solaris.

• "realtime" traffic statistics
• three graph modes: combined RX and TX and two split views
• can monitor any network device
• curses ascii graphics
• ascii theme support

• Debian GNU/Linux 10/11 (buster/bullseye)
• CentOS 7/8
• FreeBSD 12
• OpenBSD 6.9
• MacOS 12 (Monterey)

• Install meson and libncurses6-dev e.g.:

on Debian (if you don't want to use the Debian package of slurm)

 sudo apt install build-essential meson libncurses6-dev 

or on CentOS / RedHat

 # Add EPEL on CentOS 7 sudo yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm # Enable PowerTools repo in CentOS 8 sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' sudo yum install meson ncurses-devel 

or on FreeBSD 12

 pkg install meson pkgconf ncurses 

or on Alpine Linux

 apk add gcc musl-dev pkgconf meson ncurses-dev linux-headers 

or on OpenBSD 6.9

 pkg_add meson 

• Setup a build directory

   meson setup _build 

• Run meson to build
