First, you need to install it, by sudo apt-get install htop.
Then, start it by htop. Or, read man page by man htop or summery by htop --help.

F2 or S ⇒ Setup screen. There you can configure meters displayed on the top side of the screen, as well as set various display options, choose among color schemes and select the layout of the displayed columns.
a ⇒ (on multiprocessor machines) Set CPU affinity: mark which CPUs a process is allowed to use.
F ⇒ “Follow” process: if the sort order causes the currently selected process to move in the list, make the selection bar follow it. This is useful for monitoring a process: this way, you can keep a process always visible on screen. When a movement key is used, “follow” loses effect.
