11 `psensor` is a graphical hardware temperature monitor for Linux.
15 - the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using http://www.lm-sensors.org/[lm-sensors]).
16 - the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
17 - the temperature of ATI/AMD GPUs (not enabled in Ubuntu PPAs or official
18 distribution repositories, see the link:README.html#_ati_amd_gpu_support[instructions for enabling its support]).
19 - the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp or libatasmart).
20 - the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors).
21 - the CPU usage (since 0.6.2.10 and using Gtop2).

26 The application is designed to be simple and easy to use. The CPU and memory consumption are not significant.
28 Psensor is released under GPLv2 license terms.
32 First step is to install `lm-sensors`.
38 sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
41 Then, starts the detection of your hardware sensors:
55 It should display something like:
60 Core 0: +46.0C (high = +76.0C, crit = +100.0C)
64 Core 1: +44.0C (high = +76.0C, crit = +100.0C)
69 Then you can proceed to the installation of `psensor`. For Ubuntu and derivatives,
70 you should look at the link:ubuntu.html[Ubuntu support page].
72 And finally launch the `psensor` executable.
74 More information are available in the link:faq.html[Psensor FAQ].

85 == Linux Distribution Support
87 `psensor` should compile on any modern distribution including `GTK+`
88 v3 and `lm-sensors` which are quite common. For the Linux
89 distributions still stuck on `GTK+` v2, the old 0.6.x releases of
90 `psensor` can be used.
92 If you have trouble compiling `psensor` on a specific Linux distribution,
93 don’t hesitate to report it.
95 Binary packages of `psensor` are available for few Linux distributions:
97 * package for Ubuntu is in the official universe repository since version 11.10 (Oneiric)
98 * http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/psensor.html[package for Debian] is in the standard repository since 7.0
99 * https://launchpad.net/~jfi/+archive/ubuntu/ppa[PPA for Ubuntu]
