How to View CPU frequency and temperature in htop

I want to monitor CPU frequency with htop, but I want to view temperature too, so I need to find the step and note it in my blog ^__^

Install lm-sensors

🫙 Commands

sudo apt install lm-sensors

Configure htop

🖥️ Launch htop in your terminal.
🖥️ Press F2 to enter the Setup menu.

🌡️ Navigate to "Display options".

  • Select the "Also show CPU temperature (requires libsensors)" option and ensure it is checked.
  • Optionally, if you prefer Fahrenheit over Celsius, you can also check "Show temperature in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius".

🌡️ Press F10 or select "Done" to save the changes and exit the setup.
