This tool is a 'Swiss army knife' for programmers and system administrators to study per-process memory usage, IO usage, runtime memory leaks, TCP/UDP usage, and also process hierarchy.
The Linux Process Explorer was inspired by the Sysinternals Process Explorer tool by Microsoft.

As a non-superuser user:
-
If on Wayland:
#!/usr/bin/env bash export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
-
Then, start the process explorer as follows:
#!/usr/bin/env bash cd procexp-master ~/procexp/bin/python3 ./procexp.py
- For packages
pip,python3-venv,libxcb-cursor-devandtcpdump: those are standard packages, and can be removed using their uninstall instructions. - For process explorer removal, remove
~/procexpand~/procexp-master. Then your system is clean from allprocexptraces.
