# systemctl-tui

[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/systemctl-tui.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/systemctl-tui)

A fast, simple TUI for interacting with [systemd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd) services and their logs.

`systemctl-tui` can quickly browse service status and logs, and start/stop/restart services. It aims to do a small number of things well.

## Install

Note: this project only works on Linux (WSL works _if_ you [have systemd enabled](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/systemd-support-is-now-available-in-wsl/)). Binaries are published for x64 and ARM64 in the GitHub releases, and [distro packages](#distro-packages) are available.

If you'd rather build from scratch you will need [Rust installed](https://rustup.rs/). Then either:

1. Run `cargo install systemctl-tui`
2. Clone the repo and run `cargo build --release` to get a release binary at `target/release/systemctl-tui`
