but we also have code for running under FreeBSD and Mac OS X
(help and testing are wanted for these platforms!)
This software has evolved considerably over the years,
and is reasonably complete, but there is always room for improvement.

Compilation instructions
------------------------
This program is distributed as a standard autotools-based package.
See the INSTALL file for detailed instructions, but you are
probably used to the common `./configure`/`make`/`make install` routine.
See the [INSTALL](/INSTALL) file for detailed instructions, but you are
probably used to the common routine:
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
By default `make install` will install into `/usr/local`, for changing
the path use `./configure --prefix=/some/path`.
See the manual page (`man htop`) or the on-line help ('F1' or 'h'
inside `htop`) for a list of supported key commands.
When fetching the code from the development repository, you need
to run the `./autogen.sh` script, which in turn requires autotools
to be installed.
If not all keys work check your curses configuration.
See the manual page (man htop) or the on-line help ('F1' or 'h'
inside htop) for a list of supported key commands.
