How to install htop on pfSense firewall

Unfortunately, htop is not available in the default pfSense package repository, and installing it can be challenging as it requires a custom package to be built. However, you can use alternative tools such as top to monitor processes on pfSense firewall.

Here is how to install top on pfSense:

  1. Log in to the pfSense web interface
  2. Go to System -> Package Manager -> Available Packages
  3. Search for top and select it
  4. Click the Install button
  5. Wait for the installation process to complete

After installation, you can run top by logging into the pfSense shell and typing top at the command prompt.
