To build the kernel module 'netatop' and the daemon 'netatopd':

- install package "zlib-devel"   (if not installed yet) or
  install package "zlib1-dev"    (in case of Debian derivatives)

- install package "kernel-devel" (not required for every distro)

- run "make"			to compile the kernel module and daemon

- run "make install"		to install the kernel module and
				daemon (as root)

- run "systemctl start netatop"	to load the kernel module and
				start the daemon


For automatic load of the 'netatop' module and startup
of the 'netatopd' daemon after boot, use the command:

- systemctl enable netatop
