 [![btop](https://snapcraft.io/btop/badge.svg)](https://snapcraft.io/btop)

     ```bash
     sudo snap install btop
+    or
+    sudo snap install btop-desktop
     ```
  * **Install the latest snap from the edge channel**
    ```
    sudo snap install btop --edge
+   or
+   sudo snap install btop-desktop --edge
    ```
 
  * **Connect the interface**
 
     ```bash
 	sudo snap connect btop:removable-media
