[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# git clone https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash.git
Cloning into ' linux-dash' ...

Then move the file to apache document root directory.

[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# mv linux-dash /var/www/

And then create a new virtual host configuration to accessing a Linux dash.

[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/linux.conf
< VirtualHost *:80> 
ServerName www.linuxhelp1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/linux-dash/

< Directory /var/www/linux-dash/> 
AllowOverride All
allow from all
< /Directory> 

< /VirtualHost> 

Now you can proceed the further installation and configuration from the browser by navigating to the following URL: http://< ipaddress or domain name.

As you can see from the below image you can monitor system properties such as CPU load, logged-in users, RAM usage, disk usage, Internet speed, network connections, RX/TX bandwidth, running processes etc.,

With this, the method to install Linux-Dash in CentOS 7 comes to an end.
