Quick Usage of the graphical user interface (GUI) version

Joular Core is shipped with an easy-to-use, yet powerful and complete, graphical user interface (GUI), which works seamlessly and in a coherent way across all platforms and operating systems.

To run the GUI, either:

  • Start Joular Core with the -g or --gui argument.
  • Use the dedicated GUI binary directly (double click for instance): joularcoregui (on Linux or macOS) or joularcoregui.exe (on Windows).

On RAPL-based Linux systems and on macOS, elevated access is needed to monitor CPU energy (hence the need to start it with sudo).

Most CLI features are available in the GUI, with easy-to-use buttons and configuration settings to monitor the entire computer, a specific process, or a specific multi-process application.

If the GUI is executed from a terminal, it also accepted the same CLI arguments as the CLI version. For instance, you can start the gui and an HTTP socket to export power data with: joularcore -g --api-port 8080
