hardware-info

Simple rust CLI tool to quickly gather some useful hardware and software information. This is not meant to be a glorious do all tool, just something that can grab useful information and dump it to the terminal. Yes there are other tools that can do this. I am aware.

DEPENDENCIES

• Linux : the code is written to presume linux kernel /proc/ paths and other linux tools.
• nmcli : this is for grabbing network related data

QUICK INSTALLATION

To install this application you can use cargo to do all the work:

cargo install --git https://git.schotty.com/andrew/hardware-info

That's it! It will download the source, compile, and install the binary. You will need to have your path include:

~/.cargo/bin

Replace the ~ with your proper path to your home directory (/home/your-username/.cargo/bin)

MANUAL COMPILE

To do things the manual way, clone the git repository

git clone  https://git.schotty.com/andrew/hardware-info

Then you can run the build.sh file. Or you can use the cargo command to do the work (which is precisely what the build.sh script does).

cd hardware-info
cargo run --release

The resulting binary should be located in the hardware_info/target/release/ folder.
