@djmisterjon you came to the gist that the guy kindly shared and commented "bullshit". that's an asshole attitude. am i the one insulting people here? come on.

Hey there! Thank you. This was the only one that I found that showed the same values as in htop. I created an NPM package with your code: https://github.com/felipebutcher/node-os-info

sir im used your npm module from your git!
i want to use it in my bot command but it support only callback values.
please help me to use it in a variable that i can pass that into my bot response.
like this:-

Total Memory : ${totalram}GB
Free Memory : ${totalfreeram}GB
Used Memory : ${total_used}GB

I tried different things but your code brings out the most accurate readings. I tried and tested it, Thanks, mate
