How to run psensor

Make sure you run this with GUI. If your Linux OS is text-mode only, or if you are SSH'ing into the system, then it will give you an error.

titleExample of running psensor correctly with GUI, with graph suggestion

All you need to do is open a terminal and use the command 'psensor'. On a fresh install, the default background color for the graph is yellow. The CPU temperature we wanted to monitor was also set to a 'yellow' line, so I changed the background (not foreground) color to 'black' as shown below. I should also mention that the graph is trying to appear on the left-hand side, but the sensors default to the left-hand side as well. Re-sizing the screen, or minimize-maximizing the window will correct this.
