Install Ruby by opening a terminal and typing: sudo apt update & sudo apt install ruby-full.To setup a Smashing dashboard on Raspberry Pi: It was easy to install, and looks great out-of-the-box. I feel Smashing is the best dashboard tool on this list. It’s a bit power hungry so consider a smaller display like this if you’re concerned about how much power it uses.
Interested in the screen I’m using to display these dashboards?

Ruby is an easy to use programming language that runs on Raspberry Pi. If you need help collecting some data first, check out my guide here: /collect-data-with-raspberry-pi/ Ruby and Smashing dashboard The tools here will help you build a dashboard server that you can then visit from a browser running on your Raspberry Pi or from another device on the same network. Nearly all of the example dashboards in this guide use a web browser (Chromium, Firefox etc.) to actually view the dashboard. Raspberry Pi powers all these dashboards (tested using my R Pi 4)
