Installation

Some binaries are available from epel, but they are not up-to-date, and it could be a shame, so we will install glances with pip command line.

sme9

You have to enable epel repository first

yum install python-pip collectd-sensors gcc python-pip python-devel hddtemp --enablerepo=epel

enable sensors (answer y to all questions and reboot)

sensors-detect

then when you want to install or update, you can issue :

pip install --upgrade bottle batinfo https://bitbucket.org/gleb_zhulik/py3sensors/get/tip.tar.gz zeroconf netifaces pymdstat influxdb statsd pystache docker-py Glances logutils

Tip : You can put this command in a cron to autoupdate Glances

0 1 * * 0  pip install --upgrade bottle batinfo https://bitbucket.org/gleb_zhulik/py3sensors/get/tip.tar.gz zeroconf netifaces pymdstat influxdb statsd pystache docker-py Glances logutils  2>&1 1>/dev/null
