You can also execute the watch -n2 sensors command to display the temperature-related details continuously.

Use Psensor to Check CPU Temperature in Ubuntu Linux

It is required to configure lm-sensors before installing Psensor in the system. lm-sensors is a hardware monitoring’s command-line utility, and you can also install hddtemp for measuring hard disk temperature.

Open the Linux terminal and execute the command below for installing lm-sensors and hddtemp:

After executing the above command, use the detection command to detect the hardware sensors:

Use the Sensors command to make sure that it is working correctly:

Once you execute the sensor command, you will receive a result like this:

Now run the following command for installing Psensor in the system:

After installing Psensor in the system, run this application and configure it according to your requirements.
