Archey X

Archey X is a simple tool to display system information.

This is a forked and ported version of the original script: Archey, by djmelek - made to be X compatible with both OS X/macOS and misc GNU/Linux distributions – hence the name: Archey X.

Demo and Screenshots

Here's a small demo you can watch at Vimeo.

---

v0.7.0-beta on OS X.

---

v0.X-beta (early version) of Fedora and Debian in Vagrant boxes.

A few more Screenshots can be found in the Wiki …».

Installation

sudo install -v -m 0755 -o 0 -g 0 archeyX /usr/local/bin

(make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH)

Usage

archeyX

Auto-load

To load at start. Add to your .bashrc (or .bash_profile):

# Load archeyX (if installed)
[[ $(type archeyX 2> /dev/null) && ${UID} != 0 ]] && archeyX

Only in interactive mode

If you have installed archeyX on a remote server, with an SSH key based setup. Transfering files to the remote with scp for example, will cause some errors. You can use $- to check for that:

# Load archeyX (if installed)
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
if [[ $- == *i*  && ${UID} != 0 ]]; then
    [[ $(type archeyX 2> /dev/null) ]] && archeyX
fi

Author notes

• [2017-04-30] From now, Arxhey X is using Python 3.6+. The “shebang” is changed, and there's a f'{}' to trigger an error with a msg to ask you to upgrade if you don't have 3.6. So, please upgrade if needed. Thanks!
• [2016-11-23] This repo has been renamed from: “Archey :: OS X” -> “Archey X”, since it will be X-compatible. Initial version(s) will be v0.7.0-YYYYMMDD-beta until it's been tested/verified more to work with N distributions.
