Install GNOME System Monitor by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr -Dsystemd=false --buildtype=release .. && ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
-Dsystemd=false
: This
switch ensures that gnome-system-monitor does NOT use the systemd
process monitoring framework. Use this option if you are on a SysV
system.
