This article is to share with you about how to use Inxi to obtain system information under Linux. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

Inxi was originally developed as a powerful and excellent command line system information script for console and IRC (Network Relay chat). You can use it to obtain the user's hardware and system information, and it is also used for debugging or community technical support tools.

Using Inxi, you can easily get all the hardware information: hard disk, sound card, graphics card, network card, CPU, RAM and so on. At the same time, you can also get a lot of operating system information, such as hardware driver, Xorg, desktop environment, kernel, GCC version, process, boot time and memory and so on.

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: sudo apt-get install inxi in Fedora:sudo yum install inxi-based distributions:

Install the EPEL software repository:

Sudo yum install epel-release

Then install inxi using the following command:

How to use sudo yum install inxi

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

Inxi

Sample output:

CPU ~ core Intel Core i3-2350m CPU (- HT-MCP -) clocked at Min: 800.000Mhz Max: 1200.000Mhz Kernel ~ 3.13. 0-45-generic x86 / 64 Up ~ 6: 41 Mem ~ 1537.7 / 3861.3MB HDD ~ 500.1GB (52.5% used) Procs ~ 183 Client ~ Shell inxi ~ 1.9. seventeen

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:

Inxi-A

Sample output:

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

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

Inxi-G

Sample output:

Graphics:Card:Intel 2ndGenerationCoreProcessorFamilyIntegratedGraphicsController

X.Org:1.15.1 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution:1366 × 768@60.0hz

GLX Renderer:Mesa DRI IntelSandybridgeMobile GLX Version:3.0Mesa10.3.0

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

Inxi-D

Sample output:

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

Display Bios and motherboard details:

Inxi-M

Sample output:

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.

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

Inxi-W Erode,Tamilnadu

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

Sample output:

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