Sysfex

Sysfex is a command-line system information fetching tool for Linux-based systems, written in C++. It displays information about your operating system, software and hardware in an aesthetic and visually pleasing way.

Key Features

  • Print information beside or after ASCII
  • Use image instead of ASCII using viu
  • Customize output without recompiling sysfex through dedicated configuration files
  • Easily extensible and understandable

Install

Dependencies

  • viu (optional) : backend for rendering image

Cloning and compiling

Clone Sysfex using git:

git clone https://github.com/mehedirm6244/sysfex
cd sysfex

Compile Sysfex using cmake:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

You can now try Sysfex without installing it to the system
