Installing the latest version of HTOP

To install the latest version, we grab the latest DEB file from the launchpad site.

As you can see from the above image, we see the package is available for various architectures. Since Webdock machines are of x86_64 architecture we grab the "amd64" deb file.

To download the deb file, use wget. And install using apt.

$ wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/htop_3.2.2-2_amd64.deb
$ sudo apt install ./htop_3.2.2-2_amd64.deb

You can always grab the latest deb file from the above launchpad page. So make sure you replace the link and the filename during the installation.

That's it. Now you should have the latest version of htop installed. 

You can check the version using:

$ htop --version
