# Archey 4

> Archey is a simple system information tool written in Python

Archey logo

## Why (again) a f\*cking new Archey fork ?

The answer is [here](https://samuel.forestier.app/archey4).

> Note : Since the 21st September of 2017, you may notice that this repository no longer has the official status of fork.
> Actually, the maintainer decided to separate it from the original one's "network" with the help of _GitHub_'s staff.
> Nevertheless, **this piece of software is still a fork of [djmelik's Archey project](https://github.com/djmelik/archey.git)**.

## Features

* Run as quickly as possible
* Stay as light as possible
* Keep entries ordered despite parallelism
* Extensive local and public IP addresses detection
* General temperature detection
* JSON output
* Screen capture ("best effort")
* Custom entries

## Supported platforms

* BSD and derivatives
* Darwin (macOS)
* GNU/Linux distributions
* WSL

> Details [here](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4/blob/master/archey/distributions.py#L17).

## What does it look like ?

Archey 4 complete preview

## Which packages do I need to run this project ?

### Required packages

* `python3` (>= 3.6)
* `python3-distro` (`python-distro` on Arch Linux)
* `python3-netifaces` (`python-netifaces` on Arch Linux)

> PyPy is supported and may replace CPython.

> Looking for Python 3.4 support ? Please refer to the latest v4.9 release.
> Looking for Python 3.5 support ? Please refer to the latest v4.10 release.

### Highly recommended packages

## Installation

### Install from package

First, grab a package for your distribution from the latest release [here](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4/releases/latest).
Now, it's time to use your favorite package manager. Some examples :

* Arch-based distributions : `pacman -U ./archey4-4.X.Y.Z-R-any.pkg.tar.zst`
* Debian-based distributions : `apt install ./archey4_4.X.Y.Z-R_all.deb`
* RPM-based distributions : `dnf install ./archey4-4.X.Y.Z-R.py??.noarch.rpm`

Further information about packaging are available [here](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4/wiki/Packaging).

### Install from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/archey4/)

```bash
pip3 install archey4
```

### Install from [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey4/)

```bash
yay -S archey4
```

### Install from [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/archey4)

```bash
brew install archey4
```

### Install from [FreeBSD ports](https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/sysutils/archey4)

```bash
pkg install archey4
```

### Install from source

#### Step 1 : Fetch sources

```bash
# If you want the latest release :
wget -qO archey4.tar.gz "https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4/archive/v4.15.0.0.tar.gz"
tar xvzf archey4.tar.gz
cd archey4-*/

# If you want the latest revision :
git clone https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4.git
cd archey4/
```

#### Step 2 : Installation

```bash
# If you have PIP installed on your system :
pip3 install .

# But if you don't have PIP, no worries :
python3 setup.py install
```

#### Step 3 (optional) : Configuration

```bash
# System-wide configuration file (privileges required) :
install -D -m0644 config.json /etc/archey4/config.json

# User-specific configuration file :
install -D -m0644 config.json ~/.config/archey4/config.json
```

#### Step 4 (optional) : Standalone building

> Some years ago, Archey was a simple and unique Python file.
> Project evolved, and now it's a Python package.
> Some procedures below walk you through several ways of building Archey as a standalone program.

```bash
# Using Nuitka (recommended) :
apt install -y patchelf
pip3 install nuitka
python3 -m nuitka \
--onefile \
--include-package=archey.logos \
--output-filename=archey \
--output-dir=dist \
--quiet \
archey/__main__.py

# Using PEX (recommended) :
pip3 install pex
pex \
-o dist/archey \
-m archey \
.

# Since v4.10 logos are dynamically imported for performance purposes.
# This means that we have to explicitly make Stickytape and PyInstaller include them.
# Please **replace** `debian` identifier below by yours (multiple flags allowed).

# Using Stickytape :
pip3 install stickytape
stickytape \
--copy-shebang \
--add-python-path . \
--output-file dist/archey \
--add-python-module archey.logos.debian \
archey/__main__.py
chmod +x dist/archey

# Using PyInstaller :
pip3 install pyinstaller
pyinstaller \
--distpath dist \
--specpath dist \
--name archey \
--onefile archey/__main__.py \
--hidden-import archey.logos.debian \
--log-level WARN
```

Resulting program may now be installed system-wide (privileges required).

```bash
# Standalone execution.
./dist/archey

# System-wide install.
install -D -m0755 dist/archey /usr/local/bin/archey
```

## Usage

```bash
archey --help
```

or if you only want to try this out (for instance, from source) :

```bash
python3 -m archey --help
```

## Configuration (optional)

Since v4.3.0, Archey 4 **may** be "tweaked" a bit with external configuration.
You can place a [`config.json`](config.json) file in these locations :

1. `/etc/archey4/config.json` (system preferences)
2. `~/.config/archey4/config.json` (user preferences)
3. `./config.json` (local preferences)

**If an option is defined in multiple places, it will be overridden according to the order above (local preferences > user preferences > system preferences).**

Alternatively, you may specify your own configuration file with the `-c` command-line option.

The [example file](config.json) provided in this repository lists exhaustively the parameters you can set.
Below stand further descriptions for each available (default) option :

```javascript
{
// If set to `false`, configurations defined afterwards won't be loaded.
// Developers running Archey from the original project may keep in there the original `config.json`,
// while having their own external configuration set elsewhere.
"allow_overriding": true,
// Set to `false` to disable multi-threaded loading of entries.
"parallel_loading": true,
// If set to `true`, any execution warning or error would be hidden.
// Configuration parsing warnings **would** still be shown.
"suppress_warnings": false,
// Use this option to specify a custom color for entries (logo won't be affected).
// Value should be a string suitable for inclusion in the ANSI/ECMA-48 escape code for setting graphical rendition
//
// For instance "5;31;47" would result in red text blinking on white background.
// See for more information.
"entries_color": "",
// Set this option to `false` to force Archey to use its own colors palettes.
// `true` by default to honor os-release(5) `ANSI_COLOR` option.
"honor_ansi_color": true,
// Set this option to an alternative logo style identifier instead of the default one for your distro.
// For example, "retro" would show the retro styled Apple's logo on Darwin platforms.
// You can set it to "none" to completely hide distribution logo.
// Note that the `--logo-style` argument overrides this setting.
"logo_style": "",
// Enable icons for entries.
// A terminal "nerd font" is required to display the icons. Otherwise, these are simply missing and a placeholder will be seen.
// You can also refer to : .
// Make sure that your system locale supports UTF-8.
"entries_icon": false,
// Entries list.
// Add a `disabled` option set to `true` to temporary hide one.

## Test cases

An extensive test suite is available.
Here is a short procedure to run them (you'll only need `python3`) :

```bash
git clone https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4.git
cd archey4/
python3 -m unittest
```

Any improvement would be appreciated.
