Don´t you have an .xinitrc file where bashrc is located?
Do:
nano ~/.xinitrc
And add what you added before to bashrc and remove it from bashrc
Still not running on reboot. Added
~/apps/Menu/99_BatMon/BatMon 30 2 &
To the end of .xinitrc and still no luck 
i have installed batmon but doesn’t work, i have the shortcut on the main menu but doesn’t work, any help please?
No need to compile, download the precompiled version: https://github.com/Mihaylov93/BatMon/releases/download/0.4/BatMon.tar.gz
then
sudo apt-get install libqtcore4
sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
tar -zxvf BatMon.tar.gz -C /home/cpi/apps/Menu/
It seems that you did not download the release file (BatMon.tar.gz), or at the very least that you did not put it in your working directory (here, that would be ~, which is an alias for /home/cpi).
If you do not know how to do that, just run
wget https://github.com/Mihaylov93/BatMon/releases/download/0.4/BatMon.tar.gz
before launching the commands specified in the main post

Thats correct, either you have the BatMon.tar.gz in another folder and you need to specify the path or you dont have it and you will have to download it with
wget https://github.com/Mihaylov93/BatMon/releases/download/0.4/BatMon.tar.gz

well, i did everything you told me to do, but when i want to run it nothing happen, am i skipping something?
It takes time to refresh, It paints the battery on top every 30 seconds by default, so maybe when you first run it nothing happens until 30 seconds.
Otherwise if its still not working try to run it from console to see if there is an error output on the console.
For that run:
~/apps/Menu/BatMon/BatMon
i run it from the console and it works!!! thanks man 
Then from the gameshell menu should work too, just give it time to refresh after you run it.
New version of BatMon released, working on OS 0.5
Download it from here Release BatMon 0.5 · Mihaylov93/BatMon · GitHub
To install it:
tar -zxvf BatMon-0.5.tar.gz -C /home/cpi/apps/Menu/

where do you execute commands from? your pc or gameshell ? where is the terminal on retro arch and how do you type them ?
After installing it, it will appear on your menu
To download and install it you can run the following:
wget https://github.com/Mihaylov93/BatMon/releases/download/0.5/BatMon-0.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf BatMon-0.5.tar.gz -C /home/cpi/apps/Menu/
After that you will see it in the menu.
