 This video is part of a series and you should check out the description of this video for the full playlist. But today we're going to quickly look at a few ways to check out the information on the memory on your system. First option, which is readily available, is free. If you just type free and hit enter, you get some information there on your RAM. Another option would be to cat out PROC MEM info and that will give you some more information on your current memory status. Other options to quickly get a look at are two tools that may not be installed by default but are readily available. The first one is TOP, which not only shows you what processes are running but up here will show you how much memory you have, total, free, used, and same with your swap. Now, TOP is nice and simple but there's also H-TOP. H-TOP is very much like TOP but a little bit nicer looking. It also gives you a bar, colored bar output here and also tells you how much RAM is being used and is available and total and also your swap space that's available as well as all your processes just like TOP does and also shows you all your processor cores up here. So it's a little bit nicer. Again, TOP and H-TOP are readily available but not necessarily installed by default on your system. On most systems you should be able to type free to see it. That's pretty much standard as well as cat forward slash proc mem info, just cutting out that file showing what's going on there. So those are four very simple, very quick tools to see, get a quick visual of how much memory is available and being used on your system. As always, I appreciate you watching. I ask that you think about becoming a supporter over, patreon.com forward slash metalx1000. There should be a link in the description. Check out my website, filmsbychrist.com. That's Chris with the K. There should be a link in the description to that as well. If you can't support financially, even though just a dollar a month is much appreciated.

A bonus note because I forgot to say this. I mentioned the free command which shows you but you can see that's a little hard to read. Free dash M, it will tell you in megabytes the RAM you have. If you say dash G, it will tell you in gigabytes. If you do it in dash dash terabytes, it will tell you in terabytes, which is bigger than I have, but you can also just simply use the H which will make it human readable. So if your reading is in megabytes, gigabytes or terabytes, it will automatically convert that. So free dash H is a great command to remember. So a little bonus there. Thanks for watching and hope that you have a great day.
