Today, I will talk to you about how to use Inxi commands to obtain system and hardware information in Linux. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following contents for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

Inxi is a command-line tool that can get complete system and hardware details, including:

Hardware

CPU

disc drive

Xorg

Desktop environment

Kernel

GCC version

Process

Memory footprint

And other useful information.

Installation method

Inxi is in the default software repository of most modern GNU/Linux operating systems. So we can simply run the following command to install.

In Debian-based distributions:

The code is as follows:

Sudo apt-get install inxi

In Fedora:

The code is as follows:

Sudo yum install inxi

In RHEL-based distributions:

Install the EPEL software repository:

The code is as follows:

Sudo yum install epel-release

Then install inxi using the following command:

The code is as follows:

Sudo yum install inxi

Usage

Run the following command on the terminal to get the overview information of the system.

The code is as follows:

Inxi

Sample output:

The code is as follows:

CPU~Dual core Intel Core i3-2350M CPU (- HT-MCP-) clocked at Min:800.000Mhz Max:1200.000Mhz Kernel~3.13.0-45-generic x86 used 64 Up~6:41 Mem~1537.7/3861.3MB HDD~500.1GB (52.5% used) Procs~183 Client~Shell inxi~1.9.17

Of course, we can get the details of a particular hardware. For example, to obtain the details of sound / audio hardware, you can run the following command:

The code is as follows:

Inxi-A

Sample output:

The code is as follows:

Audio: Card: Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Family High Definition Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel

Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ver: K3.13.0-45-generic

Pretty cool, huh?

Similarly, you can get the details of the graphics card.

The code is as follows:

Inxi-G

Sample output:

The code is as follows:

Graphics: Card: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller

X.Org: 1.15.1 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 1366x768@60.0hz

GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Sandybridge Mobile GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 10.3.0

What about the hard drive information? It's okay, too. Run the following command to get the complete hard disk information.

The code is as follows:

Inxi-D

Sample output:

The code is as follows:

Drives: HDD Total Size: 500.1GB (52.5% used) 1: id: / dev/sda model: ST9601325BD size: 500.1GB

Display Bios and motherboard details:

The code is as follows:

Inxi-M

Sample output:

The code is as follows:

Machine: System: Dell (portable) product: Inspiron N5050

Mobo: Dell model: 01HXXJ version: A05 Bios: Dell version: A05 date: 08/03/2012

Not only is it hard details, it can also display a list of available software repositories in our system.

The code is as follows:

Inxi-r

Sample output:

The code is as follows:

Repos: Active apt sources in file: / etc/apt/sources.list

Deb http://ubuntu.excellmedia.net/archive/ trusty main restricted

Deb-src http://ubuntu.excellmedia.net/archive/ trusty main restricted

Deb http://ubuntu.excellmedia.net/archive/ trusty-updates main restricted

Deb-src http://ubuntu.excellmedia.net/archive/ trusty-updates main restricted

Active apt sources in file: / etc/apt/sources.list.d/wseverin-ppa-trusty.list

Deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wseverin/ppa/ubuntu trusty main

Inxi can also display the weather information of your location. Are you surprised? Yes, it can.

The code is as follows:

Inxi-W Erode,Tamilnadu

Here Erode is a region and Tamilnadu is a state of India.

Sample output:

The code is as follows:

Weather: Conditions: 79 F (26 C)-Clear Time: February 4, 6:00 PM IST

View complete hardware details

Tired of getting information about each type of hardware one by one? You can use the following command to list all the information at once:

The code is as follows:

Inxi-F

Sample output:

The code is as follows:
