Appliance based MFEL units (where we provided the hardware and software) have htop installed by default. Installing htop on non appliance units I have found to be quite problematic.

I am now unsure if htop is installed by default, this needs confirmation

We can run htop from a command window by entering:

  htop

htop is a more graphical version of the Linux top command (which is available on all distros). htop is much better as displaying the resources of multi-processor systems.
