# The `inxi` Script
|
|
`inxi` is a script which employs a wide array of system information utilities to assemble a holistic system summary. Check out [the repository](https://github.com/smxi/inxi) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Using `inxi`
|
|
1. `curl -o inxi https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smxi/inxi/master/inxi && chmod +x inxi`
|
|
to download the script and make it executable.
|
|
2. `sudo ./inxi -CDGmMNPS`
|
|
to generate timestamped system information summary. Refer to [`man inxi`](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/inxi.1.html) for more information.
|
|
3. Copy the output to the host's config page. |
