HATop is written in pure Python and has no external dependencies!
The installation is simple:
$ install -m 755 bin/hatop /usr/local/bin
$ install -m 644 man/hatop.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1
$ gzip /usr/local/share/man/man1/hatop.1
HATop itself can be used by any system user.
The permission to connect to a given HAProxy instance is controlled by the file permission of the unix socket file.
HATop needs read and write access (chmod +rw) on the socket file.
The initial socket file permissions can be configured in haproxy.conf using the user, group and mode parameters of the stats socket option.
