Add htop

In this example, we will add htop to the package management system and build it into debian/rhel based images.


Update packages.yaml

packages Section

Each item in the packages array defines a single logical package, and includes distro-specific keys for the corresponding package names:

packages:
  - common: htop

This maps htop to the common package name, which will be used across all distros.

Build the Image

To build the image with htop included, you can run the following command:

make noble

This command will build the Ubuntu Noble image with htop installed. You can replace noble with any other distro supported by Helios to build those images with htop as well.
