Monitor GPU Usage in WSL debian

NVTOP is like htop but for your graphics module . In this short tutorial I will share how to install nvtop in wsl debian

OS used :

cat /etc/os-release

 PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="12" VERSION="12 (bookworm)" VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm ID=debian HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/" 

1) Verify your graphics driver
In my case I have nvidida graphics

 nvidia-smi 

It should display details about your graphics , if not first install it

2) Edit your debian source list to include non-free releases

 sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list 

2) Modify the source list and add following

 deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free-firmware 

3) Get update

 sudo apt get update 

4) Now you can install nvtop

 sudo apt install nvtop 

Now hit nvtop and you are all set !!
