How to install the `htop` manpage?

  • 772

I have htop installed via snap, but apparently the man page (man htop) is not installed. Is it possible to install this?

    The man-page for Snap'ed htop is already installed into /snap/htop/current/usr/local/share/man/man1/htop.1 . You can access it using

    man htop -M /snap/htop/current/usr/local/share/man/man1/htop.1

    which is strange.

    I have reported this as a bug at https://github.com/maxiberta/htop-snap/issues/11 .

    Notes and thoughts:

    1. The most official online manpage is here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hirsute/en/man1/htop.1.html
    2. Using Snap for system management app is irrational. Better way is to remove it and use deb-based version - snap remove htop followed by sudo apt-get install htop .
