cd iotop-0.6
sed -i 's/itervalues/values/g' setup.py
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
ln -s /usr/local/python3/sbin/iotop /usr/sbin/iotop
ln -s /usr/local/python3/bin/iotop /usr/bin/iotop

For CentOS 7.6, EulerOS, openEuler 20.03, openEuler 22.03, and Kylin V10 SP1 of the x86_64 architecture, run the following command:
```
yum install perf iotop ltrace
```
