inxi is a command line system information script built for
for console and IRC. It is also used for forum technical support, as a
debugging tool, to quickly ascertain user system configuration and hardware.
inxi shows system hardware, CPU, drivers, Xorg, Desktop, Kernel, GCC
version(s), Processes, RAM usage, and a wide variety of other useful
information.
inxi output varies between CLI and IRC, with some default
filters and color options applied to IRC use. Script colors can be turned
off if desired with -c 0, or changed using the -c color
options listed in the OPTIONS section below.
In order to maintain basic privacy and security, inxi filters out
automatically on IRC things like your network card mac address, WAN and LAN
IP, your /home username directory in partitions, and a few other
things.
Because inxi is often used on forums for support, you can also
trigger this filtering with the -z option (-Fz, for example).
To override the IRC filter, you can use the -Z option. This can be
useful to debug network connection issues online in a private chat, for
example.
Options can be combined if they do not conflict. Either group the
letters together or separate them.
Letters with numbers can have no gap or a gap at your discretion
unless using -t.
For example: inxi -AG or inxi -A -G or
inxi -c10
- -A
- Show Audio/sound card information.
- -b
- Shows basic output, short form (previously -d). Same as: inxi -v
2
- -B
- Shows Battery data, charge, condition, plus extra information (if battery
present). Uses /sys or for BSDs, dmidecode. dmidecode
does not have very much information, and none about current battery
state/charge/voltage. Supports multiple batteries when using /sys
data.
Note on the charge item, the output shows the current
charge, and the percent of the available capacity, which can be less
than the original design capacity. In the following example, the actual
current capacity of the battery is 22.2 Wh, so the charge shows
what percent of the current capacity is charged.
For example: 20.1 Wh 95.4%
The condition item shows the current available capacity
/ original design capacity, then the percentage of original capacity
available in the battery. In the following example, the battery capacity
is only 61% of it's original amount.
For example: 22.2/36.4 Wh 61%
- -c
- [0-32] Available color schemes. Scheme number is required.
Supported color schemes: 0-42
- -c
- [94-99]
Color selectors run a color selector option prior to inxi
starting which lets you set the config file value for the selection.
Color selectors for each type display (NOTE: irc and global
only show safe color set):
- -c 94
- - Console, out of X.
- -c 95
- - Terminal, running in X - like xTerm.
- -c 96
- - Gui IRC, running in X - like Xchat, Quassel, Konversation etc.
- -c 97
- - Console IRC running in X - like irssi in xTerm.
- -c 98
- - Console IRC not in X.
- -c 99
- - Global - Overrides/removes all settings.
Setting specific color type removes the global color
selection.
- -C
- Show full CPU output, including per CPU clockspeed and CPU max speed (if
available). If max speed data present, shows (max) in short output
formats (inxi, inxi -b) if CPU actual speed matches CPU max
speed. If CPU max speed does not match CPU actual speed, shows both actual
and max speed information. See -x and -xx for more options.
CPU description includes technical CPU(s) description:
(-MT-MCP)
* MT - Multi/Hyper Threaded CPUs, more than 1 thread
per core. (Previously HT)
* MCP - Multi Core Processor (More than 1 core per
CPU)
* SMP - Symmetric Multi Processing (More than 1
physical CPUs)
* UP - Uni (single core) Processor
- -d
- Shows optical drive data. Same as -Dd. With -x, adds
features line to output. Also shows floppy disks if present. Note that
there is no current way to get any information about the floppy device
that I am aware of, so it will simply show the floppy id, without any
extra data. -xx adds a few more features.
- -D
- Show full hard Disk info, not only model, ie: /dev/sda ST380817AS
80.0GB. Shows disk space total + used percentage. The disk used
percentage includes space used by swap partition(s), since those are not
usable for data storage. Note that with RAID disks, the percentage will be
wrong since the total is computed from the disk sizes, but the used is
computed from mounted partition used percentages. This small defect may
get corrected in the future. Also, unmounted partitions are not counted in
disk use percentages since inxi has no access to that data.
- -f
- Show all cpu flags used, not just the short list. Not shown with -F
to avoid spamming. ARM cpus: show features items.
- -F
- Show Full output for inxi. Includes all Upper Case line letters, plus
-s and -n. Does not show extra verbose options like -d -f
-l -m -o -p -r -t -u -x unless you use those arguments in the command,
like: inxi -Frmxx
- -G
- Show Graphic card information. Card(s), Display Server (vendor and version
number), for example:
Display Server: Xorg 1.15.1
as well as screen resolution(s), OpenGL renderer, OpenGL core
profile version/OpenGL version.
If detected (currently only available if on a desktop: will
attempt to show the server type, ie, x11, wayland, mir. When xorg is
present, its version information will show after the server type in
parentheses. Future versions will show compositor information as
well.
- -h
- The help menu. Features dynamic sizing to fit into terminal window. Set
script global COLS_MAX_CONSOLE if you want a different default
value, or use -y <width> to temporarily override the defaults
or actual window width.
- --help
- Same as -h
- -H
- The help menu, plus developer options. Do not use dev options in normal
operation!
- -i
- Show Wan IP address, and shows local interfaces (requires ifconfig
or ip network tool). Same as -Nni. Not shown with -F for
user security reasons, you shouldn't paste your local/wan IP. Shows both
IPv4 and IPv6 link IP address.
- -I
- Show Information: processes, uptime, memory, irc client (or shell type if
run in shell, not irc), inxi version. See -x and -xx for
extra information (init type/version, runlevel).
- -l
- Show partition labels. Default: short partition -P. For full
-p output, use: -pl (or -plu).
- -m
- Memory (RAM) data. Does not show with -b or -F unless you
use -m explicitly. Ordered by system board physical system memory
array(s) (Array-[number] capacity:), and individual memory
devices (Device-[number]). Physical memory array(s) data shows
array capacity, and number of devices supported, and Error Correction
information. Devices shows locator data (highly variable in syntax), size,
speed, type (eg: type: DDR3).
Note that -m uses dmidecode, which must be run
as root (or start inxi with sudo), unless you figure out
how to set up sudo to permit dmidecode to read /dev/mem as user.
Note that speed will not show if No Module Installed is
found in size. This will also turn off Bus Width data output if it is
null.
If memory information was found, and if the -I line or
the -tm item have not been triggered, will also print the ram
used/total.
Because dmidecode data is extremely unreliable, inxi will try
to make best guesses. If you see (check) after capacity number,
you should check it for sure with specifications. (est) is
slightly more reliable, but you should still check the real
specifications before buying ram. Unfortunately there is nothing
inxi can do to get truly reliable data about the system ram,
maybe one day the kernel devs will put this data into /sys, and
make it real data, taken from the actual system, not dmi data. For most
people, the data will be right, but a significant percentage of users
will have either wrong max module size, if present, or max capacity.
- -M
- Show machine data. Device, Motherboard, Bios, and if present, System
Builder (Like Lenovo). Older systems/kernels without the required
/sys data can use dmidecode instead, run as root. If using
dmidecode, may also show bios revision as well as version. -! 33
can force use of dmidecode data instead of /sys. Will also
attempt to show if the system was booted by BIOS, UEFI, or UEFI [Legacy].
The last one is legacy BIOS boot mode in a systemboard using UEFI but
booted as BIOS/Legacy.
Device requires either /sys or dmidecode. Note that
'other-vm?' is a type that means it's usually a vm, but inxi failed to
detect which type, or to positively confirm which vm it is. Primary vm
identification is via systemd-detect-virt but fallback tests that should
support some BSDs as well are used. Less commonly used or harder to
detect VMs may not be correctly detected, if you get a wrong output,
post an issue and we'll get it fixed if possible.
Due to unreliable vendor data, device will show: desktop;
laptop; notebook; server; blade plus some obscure stuff that inxi is
unlikely to ever run on.
- -n
- Show Advanced Network card information. Same as -Nn. Shows
interface, speed, mac id, state, etc.
- -N
- Show Network card information. With -x, shows PCI BusID, Port
number.
- -o
- Show unmounted partition information (includes UUID and LABEL if
available). Shows file system type if you have file installed, if
you are root OR if you have added to /etc/sudoers (sudo v. 1.7 or
newer):
<username> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/file
(sample)
Does not show components (partitions that create the md raid
array) of md-raid arrays.
- -p
- Show full partition information (-P plus all other detected
partitions).
- -P
- Show Partition information (shows what -v 4 would show, but without
extra data). Shows, if detected: / /boot /home /opt /tmp /usr /var
/var/tmp /var/log. Use -p to see all mounted partitions.
- -r
- Show distro repository data. Currently supported repo types:
APK (Alpine Linux + derived versions)
APT (Debian, Ubuntu + derived versions)
PACMAN (Arch Linux + derived versions)
PISI (Pardus + derived versions)
PORTAGE (Gentoo, Sabayon + derived versions)
PORTS (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD + derived OS types)
SLACKPKG (Slackware + derived versions)
URPMQ (Mandriva, Mageia + derived versions)
YUM/ZYPP (Fedora, Redhat, Suse + derived versions)
(as distro data is collected more will be added. If your's is
missing please show us how to get this information and we'll try to add
it.)
- -R
- Show RAID data. Shows RAID devices, states, levels, and components, and
extra data with -x / -xx.
md-raid: If device is resyncing, shows resync progress line as
well.
Note: Only md-raid and ZFS are supported. Other software raid
types could be added, but only if users supply all data required, and if
the software raid actually can be made to give the required output.
Note: due to the complexity, only one raid type per system is
supported. Md-raid overrides ZFS if no ZFS was found.
- --recommends
- Checks inxi application dependencies + recommends, and directories, then
shows what package(s) you need to install to add support for that
feature.
- -s
- Show sensors output (if sensors installed/configured): mobo/cpu/gpu temp;
detected fan speeds. Gpu temp only for Fglrx/Nvidia drivers. Nvidia shows
screen number for > 1 screens.
- -S
- Show System information: host name, kernel, desktop environment (if in X),
distro. With -xx show dm - or startx - (only shows if present and
running if out of X), and if in X, with -xxx show more desktop
info, like shell/panel etc.
- -t
- [c or m or cm or mc NUMBER] Show processes. If
followed by numbers 1-20, shows that number of processes for each
type (default: 5; if in irc, max: 5)
Make sure to have no space between letters and numbers (-t
cm10 - right, -t cm 10 - wrong).
- -t c
- - cpu only. With -x, shows also memory for that process on same
line.
- -t m
- - memory only. With -x, shows also cpu for that process on same
line. If the -I line is not triggered, will also show the system
used/total ram information in the first Memory line of output.
- -t cm
- - cpu+memory. With -x, shows also cpu or memory for that process on
same line.
- -u
- Show partition UUIDs. Default: short partition -P. For full
-p output, use: -pu (or -plu).
- -U
- Note - Maintainer may have disabled this function.
If inxi -h has no listing for -U then it's
disabled.
Auto-update script. Note: if you installed as root, you must
be root to update, otherwise user is fine. Also installs / updates this
Man Page to: /usr/local/share/man/man1 (if
/usr/local/share/man/ exists AND there is no inxi man page in
/usr/share/man/man1, otherwise it goes to
/usr/share/man/man1). This requires that you be root to write to
that directory.
Previous versions of inxi manually installed man page were
installed to /usr/share/man/man1. If you want the man page to go
into /usr/local/share/man/man1 move it there and inxi will update
to that path from then on.
- -V
- inxi version information. Prints information then exits.
- --version
- same as -V
- -v
- Script verbosity levels. Verbosity level number is required. Should not be
used with -b or -F.
Supported levels: 0-7 Examples : inxi -v 4 or
inxi -v4
- -v 0
- - Short output, same as: inxi
- -v 1
- - Basic verbose, -S + basic CPU (cores, model, clock speed, and max
speed, if available) + -G + basic Disk + -I.
- -v 2
- - Adds networking card (-N), Machine (-M) data, Battery
(-B) (if available), and shows basic hard disk data (names only).
Same as: inxi -b
- -v 3
- - Adds advanced CPU (-C); network (-n) data; triggers
-x advanced data option.
- -v 4
- - Adds partition size/filled data (-P) for (if present): / /home
/var/ /boot Shows full disk data (-D)
- -v 5
- - Adds audio card (-A); memory/ram (-m);sensors (-s),
partition label (-l) and UUID (-u), short form of optical
drives.
- -v 6
- - Adds full partition data (-p), unmounted partition data
(-o), optical drive data (-d); triggers -xx extra
data option.
- -v 7
- - Adds network IP data (-i); triggers -xxx
- -w
- Adds weather line. Note, this depends on an unreliable api so it may not
always be working in the future. To get weather for an alternate location,
use -W <location_string>. See also -x, -xx,
-xxx option. Please note, your distribution's maintainer may chose
to disable this feature, so if -w or -W don't work, that's
why.
- -W
<location_string>
- Get weather/time for an alternate location. Accepts postal/zip code,
city,state pair, or latitude,longitude. Note: city/country/state names
must not contain spaces. Replace spaces with '+' sign. No spaces
around , (comma). Use only ascii letters in city/state/country
names, sorry.
Examples: -W 95623 OR -W Boston,MA OR
-W45.5234,-122.6762 OR -W new+york,ny OR -W
bodo,norway.
- -y <integer >=
80>
- This is an absolute width override which sets the output line width max.
Overrides COLS_MAX_IRC / COLS_MAX_CONSOLE globals, or the
actual widths of the terminal. If used with -h or -c 94-99,
put -y option first or the override will be ignored. Cannot be used
with --help/--version/--recommends type long options.
Example: inxi -y 130 -Fxx
- -z
- Adds security filters for IP addresses, Mac, location (-w), and
user home directory name. Default on for irc clients.
- -Z
- Absolute override for output filters. Useful for debugging networking
issues in irc for example.
These options are for long form only, and can be triggered by one
or more -x, like -xx. Alternately, the -v options
trigger them in the following way: -v 3 adds -x; -v 6
adds -xx; -v 7 adds -xxx
These extra data triggers can be useful for getting more in-depth
data on various options. Can be added to any long form option list, like:
-bxx or -Sxxx
There are 3 extra data levels: -x; -xx; and
-xxx
The following shows which lines / items get extra information with
each extra data level.
- -x -A
- - Adds version/port(s)/driver version (if available) for each Audio
device.
- -x -A
- - Shows PCI Bus ID/Usb ID number of each Audio device.
- -x -B
- - Shows Vendor/Model, battery status (if battery present).
- -x -C
- - bogomips on CPU (if available); CPU Flags (short list).
- -x -C
- - CPU microarchitecture + revision (like Sandy Bridge, K8, ARMv8, P6, and
so on). Only shows if detected. Newer microarchitectures will have to be
added as they appear, and require the CPU family id and model id.
Example: arch: Sandy Bridge rev.2, arch: K8
rev.F+
- -x -d
- - Adds items to features line of optical drive; adds rev version to
optical drive.
- -x -D
- - Hdd temp with disk data if you have hddtemp installed, if you are root
OR if you have added to /etc/sudoers (sudo v. 1.7 or newer):
<username> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hddtemp
(sample)
- -x -G
- - Direct rendering status for Graphics.
- -x -G
- - (for single gpu, nvidia driver) screen number gpu is running on.
- -x -G
- - Shows PCI Bus ID/Usb ID number of each Graphics card.
- -x -i
- - Show IP v6 additional scope data, like Global, Site, Temporary for each
interface.
Note that there is no way I am aware of to filter out the
deprecated IP v6 scope site/global temporary addresses from the output
of ifconfig. ip tool shows that clearly.
ip-v6-temporary - (ip tool only), scope global
temporary. Scope global temporary deprecated is not shown
ip-v6-global - scope global (ifconfig will show
this for all types, global, global temporary, and global temporary
deprecated, ip shows it only for global)
ip-v6-link - scope link (ip/ifconfig) -
default for -i.
ip-v6-site - scope site (ip/ifconfig).
This has been deprecated in IPv6, but still exists. ifconfig may
show multiple site values, as with global temporary, and global
temporary deprecated.
ip-v6-unknown - unknown scope
- -x -I
- - Show current init system (and init rc in some cases, like OpenRC). With
-xx, shows init/rc version number, if available. -x -I - Show
system GCC, default. With -xx, also show other installed GCC
versions.

- - Show current runlevel (not available with all init systems).
- -x -I
- - If in shell (not in IRC client, that is), show shell version number (if
available).
- -x -m
- - Shows memory device Part Number (part:). Useful to order new or
replacement memory sticks etc. Usually part numbers are unique,
particularly if you use the word memory in the search as well. With
-xx, shows Serial Number and Manufactorer as well.
- -x -m
- - If present, shows maximum memory module/device size in the Array line.
Only some systems will have this data available.
- -x -N
- - Adds version/port(s)/driver version (if available) for each Network
card;
- -x -N
- - Shows PCI Bus ID/Usb ID number of each Network card.
- -x -R
- - md-raid: Shows component raid id. Adds second RAID Info line: raid
level; report on drives (like 5/5); blocks; chunk size; bitmap (if
present). Resync line, shows blocks synced/total blocks.
- zfs-raid: Shows raid array full size; available size;
portion allocated to RAID (ie, not available as storage)."
- -x -S
- - Desktop toolkit if available (GNOME/XFCE/KDE only); Kernel gcc
version.
- -x -t
- - Adds memory use output to cpu (-xt c), and cpu use to memory
(-xt m). For -xt c will also show system Used/Total ram data
if -t m (memory) is not used AND -I is not triggered.
- -x -w / -W
- - Adds wind speed and time zone (-w only), and makes output go to
two lines.
- -xx -A
- - Adds vendor:product ID of each Audio device.
- -xx -B

Note that volts shows the data (if available) as:
Voltage Now / Minimum Design Voltage
- -xx -C
- - Shows Minimum CPU speed (if available).
- -xx -D
- - Adds disk serial number.
- -xx -D
- - Adds disk firmware revision number, if available (nvme and possibly
other types).

- - Adds vendor:product ID of each Graphics card.
- -xx -G
- - Wayland/Mir only: if found, attempts to show compositor
(experimental).
- -xx -G
- - For free drivers, adds OpenGL compatibility version number if it's
available. For nonfree drivers, the core version and compatibility
versions are the same. Example:
3.3 Mesa 11.2.0 (compat-v: 3.0)
- -xx -I
- - Show init type version number (and rc if present).
- -xx -I
- - Adds other detected installed gcc versions to primary gcc output (if
present).
- -xx -I
- - Show, if detected, system default runlevel. Supports
Systemd/Upstart/Sysvinit type defaults. Note that not all systemd systems
have the default value set, in that case, if present, it will use the data
from /etc/inittab.
- -xx -I
- - Adds parent program (or tty) that started shell, if not IRC client, to
shell information.
- -xx -m
- - Shows memory device Manufacturer and Serial Number.
- -xx -m
- - Single/double bank memory, if data is found. Note, this may not be 100%
right all of the time since it depends on the order that data is found in
dmidecode output for type 6 and type 17.
- -xx -M
- - Adds chassis information, if any data for that is available. Also shows
BIOS rom size if using dmidecode.
- -xx -N
- - Adds vendor:product ID of each Network card.
- -xx -R
- - md-raid: Adds superblock (if present); algorythm, U data. Adds system
info sline (kernel support, read ahead, raid events). Adds if present,
unused device line. If device is resyncing, shows resync progress line as
well.
- -xx -S
- - Adds, if run in X, display manager type to Desktop information, if
present. If none, shows N/A. Supports most known display managers, like
xdm, gdm, kdm, slim, lightdm, or mdm.
- -xx -w / -W
- - Adds humidity and barometric pressure.
- -xx -@
<11-14>
- - Automatically uploads debugger data tar.gz file to
ftp.techpatterns.com.
- -xxx -B
- - Adds battery chemistry (like: Li-ion), cycles (NOTE: there
appears to be a problem with the Linux kernel obtaining the cycle count,
so this almost always shows 0. There's nothing that can be done
about this glitch, the data is simply not available as of 2016-04-18),
location (only available from dmidecode derived output).
- -xxx -m
- - Memory bus width: primary bus width, and if present, total width. eg:
bus width: 64 bit (total: 72 bits). Note that total / data widths are
mixed up sometimes in dmidecode output, so inxi will take the larger value
as total if present. If no total width data is found, then inxi will not
show that item.
- -xxx -m
- - Adds device Type Detail, eg: DDR3 (Synchronous).
- -xxx -m
- - If present, will add memory module voltage. Only some systems will have
this data available.
- -xxx -S
- - Adds, if run in X, shell/panel type info to Desktop information, if
present. If none, shows nothing. Supports some current desktop extras like
gnome-panel, lxde-panel, and others. Added mainly for Mint support.
- -xxx -w / -W
- - Adds location (city state country), weather observation time, altitude
of system. If wind chill, heat index, or dew point are available, shows
that data as well.
- -! 31
- Turns off hostname in System line. Useful, with -z, for anonymizing
your inxi output for posting on forums or IRC.
- -! 32
- Turns on hostname in System line. Overrides inxi config file value (if
set): B_SHOW_HOST='false'.
- -! 33
- Force use of dmidecode. This will override /sys data in some
lines, like -M.
- -! 34
- Skip SSL certificate checks for all downloader actions (-U,
-w, -W, -i). Use if your system does not have current
SSL certificate lists, or if you have problems making a connection for any
reason. Only works with wget, curl, and fetch. This
must go before the other options you use.
- -! 40
- Will try to get display data out of X (does not usually work as root
user). Default gets display info from display :0. If you use this
format: -! 40:1 it would get it from display 1 instead, or
any display you specify as long as there is no space between -! 40
and the :[display id].
Note that in some cases, -! 40 will cause inxi to hang
endlessly when running the option in console with Intel graphics
(confirmed). Other free drivers like nouveau/ati unknown yet. It may be
that this is a bug with the intel graphics driver, more information
required.
You can test this easily by running this command out of
X/display server: glxinfo -display :0
If it hangs, -! 40 will not work.
- -! 41
- Bypass Curl as a downloader option. Priority is: Curl, Wget, Fetch,
HTTP::Tiny, OpenBSD only: ftp
- -! 42
- Bypass Fetch as a downloader option.Priority is: Curl, Wget, Fetch,
HTTP::Tiny, OpenBSD only: ftp
- -! 43
- Bypass Wget as a downloader option. Priority is: Curl, Wget, Fetch,
HTTP::Tiny, OpenBSD only: ftp
- -! 44
- Bypass Curl, Fetch, and Wget as downloader options.
This basically forces the downloader selection to use Perl 5.x
HTTP::Tiny, which is in general slower than Curl or
Wget but it may help bypass issues with downloading.
- -%
- Overrides defective or corrupted data.
- -@
- Triggers debugger output. Requires debugging level 1-14
(8-10 - logging of data). Less than 8 just triggers inxi debugger
output on screen.
- -@
- [1-7] - On screen debugger output.
- -@ 8
- - Basic logging. Check /home/yourname/.inxi/inxi*.log
- -@ 9
- - Full file/sys info logging.
- -@ 10
- - Color logging.
- -@ <11-14>
- The following create a tar.gz file of system data, plus collecting the
inxi output to file: To automatically upload debugger data tar.gz file to
ftp.techpatterns.com:
inxi -xx@ <11-14>
For alternate ftp upload locations: Example:
inxi -! ftp.yourserver.com/incoming -xx@

- -@ 13
- - With data from dev, disks, partitions, etc.
- -@ 14
- - Everything, full data collection.
BitchX, Gaim/Pidgin, ircII, Irssi, Konversation, Kopete, KSirc,
KVIrc, Weechat, and Xchat. Plus any others that are capable of displaying
either built in or external script output.
To trigger inxi output in your IRC client, pick the appropriate
method from the list below:
- Xchat,
irssi
- (and many other IRC clients) /exec -o inxi [options] If you
leave off the -o, only you will see the output on your local IRC
client.
- Konversation
- /cmd inxi [options]
To run inxi in konversation as a native script if your
distribution or inxi package did not do this for you, create this
symbolic link [the first works for KDE 4, the second for KDE 5]:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/inxi
/usr/share/kde4/apps/konversation/scripts/inxi
ln -s /usr/local/bin/inxi
/usr/share/konversation/scripts/inxi
If inxi is somewhere else, change the path
/usr/local/bin to wherever it is located.
If you are using KDE/QT 5, then you may also need to add the
following to get the konversation /inxi command to work:
ln -s /usr/share/konversation /usr/share/apps/
Then you can start inxi directly, like this:
/inxi [options]
- WeeChat
- NEW: /exec -o inxi [options]
OLD: /shell -o inxi [options]
Newer (2014 and later) WeeChats work pretty much the same now
as other console IRC clients, with /exec -o inxi
[options]. Also, newer WeeChats have dropped the
-curses part of their program name, ie: weechat instead of
weechat-curses.
Deprecated:
Before WeeChat can run external scripts like inxi, you need to
install the weechat-plugins package. This is automatically installed for
Debian users. Next, if you don't already have it, you need to install
shell.py, which is a python script.
In a web browser, Click on the download button at:
https://www.weechat.org/scripts/source/stable/shell.py.html/
Make the script executable by
chmod +x shell.py
Move it to your home folder: /.weechat/python/autoload/
then logout, and start WeeChat with
weechat-curses
Top of screen should say what pythons scripts have loaded, and
should include shell. Then to run inxi, you would enter a command like
this:
/shell -o inxi -bx
If you leave off the -o, only you will see the output
on your local weechat. WeeChat users may also like to check out the
weeget.py
inxi will read the following configuration/initialization files in
the following order:
/etc/inxi.conf is the default configurations. These can be
overridden by user configurations found in one of the following locations
(inxi will place its config file using the following precedence as well,
that is, if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not empty, it will go there, else if
$HOME/.conf/inxi.conf exists, it will go there, and as a last
default, the legacy location is used:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/inxi.conf or $HOME/.conf/inxi.conf
or $HOME/.inxi/inxi.conf
See wiki pages for more information on how to set these up:

Please report bugs using the following resources.
You may be asked to run the inxi debugger tool which will upload a
data dump of all system files for use in debugging inxi. These data dumps
are very important since they provide us with all the real system data inxi
uses to parse out its report.

inxi is is a fork of locsmif's largely unmaintained yet
very clever, infobash script.
Original infobash author and copyright holder: Copyright (C)

inxi version: Copyright (C) 2008-17 Harald Hope
Initial CPU logic, konversation version logic, occasional
maintenance fixes, and the initial xiin.py tool for /sys parsing (deprecated
but still very much appreciated for all the valuable debugger data it helped
generate): Scott Rogers
Further fixes (listed as known):
Horst Tritremmel <hjt at sidux.com>
Steven Barrett (aka: damentz) - usb audio patch; swap percent used
patch.
Jarett.Stevens - dmidecode -M patch for older systems with no
/sys
And a special thanks to the nice people at irc.oftc.net channels
#linux-smokers-club and #smxi, who all really have to be considered to be
co-developers because of their non-stop enthusiasm and willingness to
provide real time testing and debugging of inxi development.
A further thanks to the Siduction forum members, who have helped
get some features working by providing a lot of datasets that revealed
possible variations, particularly for the ram -m option.
Further thanks to the various inxi package maintainers, distro
support people, forum moderators, and in particular, sys admins with their
particular issues, which almost always help make inxi better, and any others
who contribute ideas, suggestions, and patches.
Without a wide range of diverse Linux kernel based Free Desktop
systems to test on, we could never have gotten inxi to be as reliable and
solid as it's turning out to be.
And of course, big thanks locsmif, who figured out a lot of the
core methods, logic, and tricks used in inxi.
