# system-info
[](https://github.com/darkwizard242/system-info/actions)
# 1\. INTRODUCTION:
Cross-platform scripts developed in Python3 for fetching and providing runtime CPU, RAM, PIDs, OS and system information.
## 1.1 Audience:
Quite simply, everyone. From a student to a system engineer, from a software developer to an IT enthusiast. It's developed with the thought to be easily used by anyone :wink: .
# 2\. Pre-requisites:
2.1\. **Python3**
```
* Python 3 is easily available for free to download, install and use on windows & *nix platforms. If you do not have Python 3 installed on your machine where you require the use or execution of these scripts, please feel free to use the following methods:
```
- **Windows**: [Python3.7.0](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-370/) is the latest major Python release that can easily be downloaded and installed. _Note:_ Python 3.7.0 was the major release at the point of this development. Feel free to use a newer 3.x Python version if you desire.
- **Ubuntu LTS OS's**: Pre-installed on Ubuntu LTS OS's i.e. 16.04 xenial & 18.04 bionic.
2.2\. **`psutil`** library
- **Windows**: You can easily install psutil library using command prompt i.e. cmd. Just open cmd, and type in `python -m pip --user -r install psutil` .
- **Ubuntu LTS OS's**: Just run the [install_pre-reqs.bash](https://github.com/Tech-Overlord/system-info/blob/master/pre-reqs/install_pre-reqs.bash) script and it will take care of that for you.
- **Note:** [psutil](https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil) library was developed by [Giampaolo Rodola](https://github.com/giampaolo). It is a cross platform library for system level information. Kudos to Giampaolo !!!
# 3\. Tested on:
1. Windows Operating Systems (i.e. 7, 8, 8.x & 10). Works on Windows Server editions too.
2. Ubuntu 16.04 & Ubuntu 18.04
# 4\. Usage:
Utilizing the library is pretty simple. All you need to do is execute the `main_system.py` file. Assuming that you have already downloaded either the zip/tar or cloned the project already. Following two sections will cover the execution process.
- #### Windows:
1. Either [Download](https://github.com/Tech-Overlord/system-info/releases/download/v1.0.1/system-info-1.0.1.zip) or clone using `git clone https://github.com/Tech-Overlord/system-info`
2. Open a `cmd` window.
3. Perform `cd` into the directory where the extracted archive or project is cloned in. For instance, if you have extracted or cloned into D:\ drive. Do `cd D:\system-info`
4. Now, change directory into the `sysinfo` package i.e. `cd sysinfo`
5. Current directory should be: **D:\system-info\sysinfo**
6. Execute `main_system.py` with the following commands: `python main_system.py`
7. All done. That will print a detailed output as can be seen below:
```batch
D:\system-info\sysinfo>python main_system.py
System & OS level details below:
OS Type: Windows
OS Release version: 10
Processor Name: Intel64 Family 6 Model 78 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel
Machine Name on Network is: DESKTOP-MS0CV80
Machine Type is: AMD64
System platform type is: win32
RAM details below:
Total memory is: 8481.492992 MBs
Current available memory is: 1897.357312 MBs
Current used memory is: 6584.13568 MBs
Percentage of RAM being utilized currently: 77.6%
Current process details below:
{'pid': 0, 'name': 'System Idle Process', 'username': 'NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM'}
{'pid': 4, 'name': 'System', 'username': 'NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM'}
{'pid': 96, 'name': 'Registry', 'username': None}

{'pid': 8884, 'name': 'vmware-tray.exe', 'username': 'DESKTOP-MS0CV80\\User'}
D:\system-info\sysinfo>
```
- #### Ubuntu:
1. Change to user's home directory, for e.g. by entering the following command: `cd ~`
2. Either Download using `wget https://github.com/Tech-Overlord/system-info/releases/download/v1.0.1/system-info-1.0.1.tar.gz` or clone using `git clone https://github.com/Tech-Overlord/system-info`
- If cloned, simply change into the root directory of the cloned project and then into the sysinfo folder, for e.g. `cd ~/system-info/sysinfo/`
- Do `chmod +x *`
- If tar was downloaded using `wget`. Extract it using the commands: `tar -zxf system-info-1.0.1.tar.gz` and then cd into extracted directory right down to _sysinfo_ package, for e.g. if the extracted directory is system-info-1.0.0, then do `cd system-info-1.0.1/sysinfo`
- Do `chmod +x *`. This will ensure that the scripts have **execute** permissions.
3. Execute **main_system.py** file with the command: `python3 main_system.py`
4. This will print a detailed output as shown below:
```shell
vagrant@ubuntu:/vagrant/sysinfo$ python3 main_system.py

## 4.1 Data Measurement Unit
Data measurement units can be classified into the following:
1. Bit - It is the smallest unit of computer data measurement. Only has the value of _0_ or _1_, which correspond to electronic values of _on_ or _off_.
2. Byte - Contains 8 bits and enough information to form and store at least a single ASCII character, for e.g. 'a'.
3. KiloByte - Contains about 1024 Bytes.
4. MegaBytes - Contains about 1024 KiloBytes.
5. GigaBytes - Contains about 1024 MegaBytes.
There are larger units of data measurement as well. Feel free to google and read about them. For now, I have only mentioned a few units used in this project.
Data Measurement unit(s) | Bytes
------------------------ | :------------:
KiloByte (KB) | 1024 Bytes
MegaByte (MB) | 1024 KiloBytes
GigaByte (GB) | 1024 MegaBytes
`main_system.py` currently will output everything using 'MB' as a data unit. However, you can eaily modify it to any of the below mentioned data measurement units. To do so, follow the following steps:
1. Open 'main_system.py' into any editor of your choice. It contains the following code:
```python
# ! /usr/bin/env python3
import ram_kb
import ram_mb
import ram_gb
import sys_sw_hw_info
import variables_data
import pid_info
# Assigning a variable for the purpose of specifying which data measurement function is to be used.
data_measure = variables_data.megabyte
# Printing system, os, architecture level information using the function system_details in sys_sw_hw_info module.
print('\nSystem & OS level details below:\n')
sys_sw_hw_info.system_details()
print()
# Printing IP address using the ip_addr function within the ip_address module.
# ip_address.ip_addr()
# print()
# Printing RAM details by using if/else statements so that the data measurement is in accordance to value of
# data_measure variable
print('RAM details below: ')
if data_measure == variables_data.kilobyte:
ram_kb.ram_specs()
elif data_measure == variables_data.megabyte:
ram_mb.ram_specs()
elif data_measure == variables_data.gigabyte:
ram_gb.ram_specs()
else:
print('Data Variable messed up! please check the code.')
# Listing all of the current processes using process_info function in pid_info module.
print('\nCurrent process details below: \n')
pid_info.processes_info()
```
1. To modify the data unit type, change the value of variable `data_measure` at _line 12_. For example, if you want to switch it to gigabyte, then modify from `data_measure = variables_data.megabyte` to `data_measure = variables_data.gigabyte`.
2. That's all! Just run main_system.py again and you should see the data measurement unit related output in gigabyte. Feel free to change data measurement units to your desire.
**Note:** Data measurement types have been defined in [variables_data.py](https://github.com/Tech-Overlord/system-info/blob/master/sysinfo/variables_data.py).
