• Press d to show/hide docker containers in the process list (needs docker access).
• The Iris web theme looks great — glances -w --theme iris.
• Export to CSV/InfluxDB/Prometheus with --export (see glances --help for plugins).

Check Your PATH

All three tools are installed in ~/.local/bin. Verify your shell sees them:

which lazygit lazydocker glances

If any say “not found”, add this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Then reload your shell:

source ~/.bashrc   # or source ~/.zshrc
