Research direction

The issue names btop and its current Homebrew location but no repository files or tests. Start by searching the repository for nix-darwin and Homebrew declarations, then verify that btop is installed and configured through the intended setup rather than only at /usr/local/Cellar/btop.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Install btop - a modern resource monitor.

btop is currently installed via Homebrew in:

  • /usr/local/Cellar/btop

A better alternative to htop with graphs and mouse support.
