# 🖥️Network Tools | btop - the Best System Monitoring Tool to use on a SD-WAN edge🔍

I've previously used [bpytop](https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop) but its there is its cousin [btop](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop) that is more slim and trim, the member of the family thats been to the gym.

Here is how to install it:

```plaintext
wget -qO btop.tbz https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/releases/latest/download/btop-x86_64-linux-musl.tbz
# For Raspberry Pi use
wget -qO btop.tbz https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/releases/download/v1.2.8/btop-armv7l-linux-musleabihf.tbz

sudo tar xf btop.tbz 
sudo mv btop/bin/btop /usr/local/bin
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Select and use en_US.UTF-8 en_ZA.UTF-8
```

Thats it. You can now use btop to see what is happening and using resources on the edge.
