# System Monitor Overlay
This overlay displays real-time system information like CPU and memory usage. It's designed to be used as a browser source in streaming software like OBS Studio.
## Example Output

## Setting up the Python Environment
Before you can run the server, it's recommended to create a virtual environment to keep the dependencies for this project isolated from your system's Python installation.
1. **Create a virtual environment:**
```bash
python3 -m venv venv
```
2. **Activate the virtual environment:**
* On Linux/macOS (bash/zsh):
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
```
* On Linux/macOS (fish):
```bash
source venv/bin/activate.fish
```
* On Windows:
```bash
.\venv\Scripts\activate
```
You will know the virtual environment is active when you see `(venv)` at the beginning of your command prompt.
## Installation
Once you have activated the virtual environment, you can install the required library and run the server.
1. **Install the required library:**
```bash
pip install psutil
```
2. **Run the server:**
```bash
python server.py
```
The server will start on port 8000.
3. **Add to OBS Studio:**
* Add a new "Browser" source to your scene.
* Set the URL to the `system_monitor.html` file in this directory.
* Set the width and height to your desired dimensions.
## Overlays
* `system_monitor.html`: The default overlay with a heading.
* `system_monitor_no_heading.html`: An alternative overlay without the heading.
