Centos compilation and installation of the latest iftop port traffic monitoring tool

Iftop can monitor the real-time traffic on the server port. Therefore, you can install iftop on the server by compiling and installing it.

The installation procedure is as follows:

1. Download the source code package iftop-1.0pre4.tar.gz:

# Wgethttp: // www.ex-parrot.com /~ Pdw/iftop/download/iftop-1.0pre4.tar.gz

2. Go to the directory/usr/soft/where the source code package is located and decompress the package:

# Tar-xvf iftop-1.0pre4.tar.gz

3. Go to the decompressed iftop directory:

# Cdiftop-1.0pre4

# Ls // view the directory content

4. Start compilation and installation:

1) install iftop in the/usr/soft/iftop/directory:

[Root @ CentOS iftop-1.0pre4] #./configure -- prefix =/usr/soft/iftop/

2) use # make and # make install to perform subsequent installation.

3) after the installation is complete, you can use the # iftop command (with relevant parameters) to monitor traffic.

Compile and install:

Prerequisites: the compiling and installation environment (development tools: gcc; perl; python; glibc; gtk; make; automake) exists ). 1 package software with tar.gz and tar.bz2, mostly through

#./Configure

# Make

# Make install.

2) some software is direct

# Make;

# Make install.

3) We can use

#./Configure -- help to view the software configuration functions.

4) Most software provides the./configure configuration software. A few do not.

./Configure, just make; make install.

5 ). one of the most important parameters of/configure is -- prefix. With the -- prefix parameter, we can specify the software installation directory. When we don't need this software, just delete the Software Directory.

#./Configure -- prefix =/usr/soft/iftop // specify the installation directory
