3 ways to use the Linux inxi command
|
||
======
|
||
I use inxi on Linux to check my laptop batter, CPU information, and even the weather.
|
||
|
||
![Coding on a computer][1]
|
||
|
||
I was looking for information about the health of my laptop battery when I stumbled upon `inxi`. It's a command line system information tool that provides a wealth of information about your Linux computer, whether it's a laptop, desktop, or server.
|
||
|
||
The `inxi` command is [licensed][2] with the GPLv3, and many Linux distributions include it. According to its Git repository: "inxi strives to support the widest range of operating systems and hardware, from the most simple consumer desktops, to the most advanced professional hardware and servers."
|
||
|
||
Documentation is robust, and the project maintains a complete [man page][3] online. Once installed, you can access the man page on your system with the `man inxi` command.
|
||
|
||
### Install inxi on Linux
|
||
|
||
Generally, you can install `inxi` from your distribution's software repository or app center. For example, on Fedora, CentOS, Mageia, or similar:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo dnf install inxi
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
On Debian, Elementary, Linux Mint, or similar:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo apt install inxi
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can find more information about installation options for your Linux distribution [here][4].
|
||
|
||
### 3 ways to use inxi on Linux
|
||
|
||
Once you install `inxi`, you can explore all its options. There are numerous options to help you learn more about your system. The most fundamental command provides a basic overview of your system:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ inxi -b
|
||

|
||
Shell: Bash inxi: 3.3.13
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 1. Display battery status
|
||
|
||
You can check your battery health using the `-B` option. The result shows the system battery ID, charge condition, and other information:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ inxi -B
|
||
Battery:
|
||
ID-1: BATT charge: 44.3 Wh (85.2%) condition: 52.0/53.2 Wh (97.7%)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 2. Display CPU info
|
||
|
||
Find out more information about the CPU with the `-C` option:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ inxi -C
|
||
CPU:
|
||
Info: 8-core model: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U with Radeon Graphics bits: 64
|
||
type: MT MCP cache: L2: 4 MiB
|
||
Speed (MHz): avg: 400 min/max: 400/4507 cores: 1: 400 2: 400 3: 400
|
||
4: 400 5: 400 6: 400 7: 400 8: 400 9: 400 10: 400 11: 400 12: 400 13: 400
|
||
14: 400 15: 400 16: 400
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The output of `inxi` uses colored text by default. You can change that to improve readability, as needed, by using the "color switch."
|
||
|
||
The command option is `-c` followed by any number between 0 and 42 to suit your tastes.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ inxi -c 42
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Here is an example of a couple of different options using color 5 and then 7:
|
||
|
||
![inxi -c 5 command][5]
|
||
|
||
The software can show hardware temperature, fan speed, and other information about your system using the sensors in your Linux system. Enter `inxi -s` and read the result below:
|
||
|
||
![inxi -s][6]
|
||
|
||
### 3. Combine options
|
||
|
||
You can combine options for `inxi` to get complex output when supported. For example, `inxi -S` provides system information, and `-v` provides verbose output. Combining the two gives the following:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ inxi -S
|
||
System:
|
||
Host: pop-os Kernel: 5.19.0-76051900-generic x86_64 bits: 64
|
||
Desktop: GNOME 42.3.1 Distro: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS
|
||
|
||
$ inxi -Sv
|
||
CPU: 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U with Radeon Graphics (-MT MCP-)
|
||
speed/min/max: 634/400/4507 MHz Kernel: 5.19.0-76051900-generic x86_64
|
||
Up: 20m Mem: 3084.2/15318.5 MiB (20.1%) Storage: 953.87 GiB (7.9% used)
|
||
Procs: 346 Shell: Bash inxi: 3.3.13
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Bonus: Check the weather
|
||
|
||
Your computer isn't all `inxi` can gather information about. With the `-w` option, you can also get weather information for your locale:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ inxi -w
|
||
Weather:
|
||
Report: temperature: 14 C (57 F) conditions: Clear sky
|
||
Locale: Wellington, G2, NZL
|
||
current time: Tue 30 Aug 2022 16:28:14 (Pacific/Auckland)
|
||
Source: WeatherBit.io
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can get weather information for other areas of the world by specifying the city and country you want along with `-W` :
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ inxi -W rome,italy
|
||
Weather:
|
||
Report: temperature: 20 C (68 F) conditions: Clear sky
|
||
Locale: Rome, Italy current time: Tue 30 Aug 2022 06:29:52
|
||
Source: WeatherBit.io
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Wrap up
|
||
|
||
There are many great tools to gather information about your computer. I use different ones depending on the machine, the desktop, or my mood. What are your favorite system information tools?
